Hi can somebody help me with this equation, please? 50=2(x+3)+10

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 10 from both sides

40 = 2(x+3)

2) Divide both sides by 2.

20 = x + 3

3) Subtract 3 from both sides

17 = x

x = 17

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
