To solve this equation, we first combine like terms on the left side of the equation:
(2x + 5) + (3x + 7) = 120
2x + 5 + 3x + 7 = 120
5x + 12 = 120
Next, we isolate the variable term on one side:
5x = 120 - 12
5x = 108
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
x = 108 / 5
x = 21.6
Therefore, the value of x is 21.6.
(2x + 5) + (3x + 7) = 120
2x + 5 + 3x + 7 = 120
5x + 12 = 120
Next, we isolate the variable term on one side:
5x = 120 - 12
5x = 108
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
x = 108 / 5
x = 21.6
Therefore, the value of x is 21.6.

No problem! Let's re-solve the equation with the correct total:
(2x + 5) + (3x + 7) = 112
2x + 5 + 3x + 7 = 112
5x + 12 = 112
Now, isolate the variable term:
5x = 112 - 12
5x = 100
Finally, solve for x by dividing by 5:
x = 100 / 5
x = 20
Therefore, the correct value of x is 20.
(2x + 5) + (3x + 7) = 112
2x + 5 + 3x + 7 = 112
5x + 12 = 112
Now, isolate the variable term:
5x = 112 - 12
5x = 100
Finally, solve for x by dividing by 5:
x = 100 / 5
x = 20
Therefore, the correct value of x is 20.
