Full solution

Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline5(7x+7)=18x+24 -5(-7 x+7)=-18 x+24 \newline
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 5-5 across the terms inside the parentheses.\newline-5 \times (-7x) + -5 \times 7 = -18x + 24\(\newline35x - 35 = -18x + 24\)
  2. Combine Like Terms: Next, add 18x18x to both sides of the equation to get all the xx terms on one side.\newline35x35+18x=18x+24+18x35x - 35 + 18x = -18x + 24 + 18x\newline35x+18x35=2435x + 18x - 35 = 24\newline53x35=2453x - 35 = 24
  3. Isolate X Term: Now, add 3535 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.\newline53x35+35=24+3553x - 35 + 35 = 24 + 35\newline53x=5953x = 59
  4. Solve for X: Finally, divide both sides by 5353 to solve for xx.\newline53x53=5953\frac{53x}{53} = \frac{59}{53}\newlinex=5953x = \frac{59}{53}
