Solve for x: 5x - 3 = 7 To solve this equation, we must get x by itself on one side of the
equation. To do this, we need to isolate x by getting rid of the constant term (-3) on the
right side of the equation. To do this, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation:
5x - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3 5x = 10
Now that we have isolated x, we can divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient
(5) to find the value of x:
5x / 5 = 10 / 5 x = 2
Therefore, the value of x in this equation is 2.
Evaluate the expression 2(x + 3) when x = 4: To evaluate this expression, we need to
substitute the value of x (4) into the expression and then simplify.
2(x + 3) = 2(4 + 3) 2(x + 3) = 2(7) 2(x + 3) = 14
Therefore, the value of the expression 2(x + 3) when x = 4 is 14.
Find the value of x in the equation 2x - 4 = 10: To solve this equation, we must get x by
itself on one side of the equation. To do this, we need to isolate x by getting rid of the
constant term (-4) on the right side of the equation. To do this, we can add 4 to both
sides of the equation:
2x - 4 + 4 = 10 + 4 2x = 14
Now that we have isolated x, we can divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient
(2) to find the value of x:
2x / 2 = 14 / 2 x = 7
Therefore, the value of x in this equation is 7.
