Answer:
The answer is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-4)+3=7.
1. Multiply the 2 by each number/variable inside of the parenthesis.
2x-8+3=7
2. Combine like terms
2x-5=7
3. Take the 5 from the left side and add it to 7 on the right side
2x-5=7
+5 +5
2x = 12
4. Divide both sides by 2
2x/2= X and 12/2 = 6
5. The 2 cancels out, leaving you with x, and 12 divided by 2 is 6.
X = 6
