Question

$$2(x+1)+3x=37$$

Solve for x

$x=7$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x+1$.

$$2x+2+3x=37$$

Combine $2x$ and $3x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x+2=37$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$5x=37-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $37$ to get $35$.

$$5x=35$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{35}{5}$$

Divide $35$ by $5$ to get $7$.

$$x=7$$
