Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline(5x7)3=5x+2(5x+2) -(5 x-7)-3=5 x+2(-5 x+2) \newline
  1. Combine like terms: Now, we have 5x+4-5x + 4 on both sides of the equation.\newlineSet the equation 5x+4=5x+4-5x + 4 = -5x + 4 and simplify.\newlineSubtract 5x-5x from both sides to get 4=44 = 4.
  2. Simplify and subtract: Since 4=44 = 4 is a true statement and xx has been eliminated, this means that the equation is true for all values of xx. The solution is all real numbers.
