To solve the equation, first distribute the 2 and 3 on each side:
2(x+7) = 3(x+3)
2x + 14 = 3x + 9
Next, isolate x on one side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides:
2x - 2x + 14 = 3x - 2x + 9
14 = x + 9
Then, isolate x by subtracting 9 from both sides:
14 - 9 = x + 9 - 9
5 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 5.
What is the solution to the equation
`2\left(x+7\right)\ =\ 3\left(x+3\right)`?
