3(2x+2)-x-2=39

1 answer

To solve the equation 3(2x+2)-x-2=39, we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

6x + 6 - x - 2 = 39

2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:

5x + 4 = 39

3. Subtract 4 from both sides:

5x = 35

4. Divide both sides by 5:

x = 7

So the solution to the equation is x = 7.
