Answer:
X=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x+35=3(x+5)
2x+35=(3)(x)+(3)(5)(Distribute)
2x+35=3x+15
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x+35−3x=3x+15−3x
−x+35=15
Step 3: Subtract 35 from both sides.
−x+35−35=15−35
−x=−20
Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.
−x
−1
=
−20
−1
x=20
