72

Answer 1

I am taken it is 10 from what I solved

Answer 2

then plug in 10 to check

Answer 3

\[5(2(10)-12)+21 \overset{?}= 2(10) +41\]

Answer 4

I am some what confused

Answer 5

math is not my friend

Answer 6

If x=10 solves your equation, then it will be true when you plug in 10 everywhere you see an x.

Answer 7

first try the left hand side L.H.S. \[5(2(10)-12)+21=5*8+21=61\]

Answer 8

and then the Right Hand Side... \[R.H.S. = 2(10)+41 = ?\]

Answer 9

if they are both equal, then x=10 is a solution!

Answer 10
