Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the equation is:
3(x+1)=7(x-2) -3
Solution:
Multiply (x+1) by 3 and (x-2) by 7
3x+3 = 7x-14 -3
3x+3 = 7x -17
Now combine the like terms:
3+17 = 7x-3x
20 = 4x
Now divide both the terms by 4
20/4 = 4x/4
5 = x
You can write it as x=5
Thus the value of x is 5 ....
