[tex]Solution, solve\:for\:x,\:7\left(x+2\right)=6\left(x+5\right)\quad :\quad x=16[/tex]
[tex]Steps:[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Expand\:}7\left(x+2\right):\quad 7x+14[/tex], [tex]\mathrm{Expand\:}6\left(x+5\right):\quad 6x+30[/tex], [tex]7x+14=6x+30[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}14\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 7x+14-14=6x+30-14[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Simplify}, 7x=6x+16[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}6x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 7x-6x=6x+16-6x[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Simplify}, x=16[/tex]
The correct answer is x=16
Hope This Helps!!!
