Question

(5x7)-(5x2)= x(7-2)

Answer 1

Let's simplify the equation step by step:

The original equation is:

\[
(5 \times 7) - (5 \times 2) = x \times (7 - 2)
\]

First, we can calculate the left side:

\[
(5 \times 7) = 35
\]
\[
(5 \times 2) = 10
\]

Now substituting these values back into the equation:

\[
35 - 10 = x \times (7 - 2)
\]
\[
25 = x \times 5
\]

Now, to solve for \( x \), we divide both sides by 5:

\[
x = \frac{25}{5}
\]
\[
x = 5
\]

So the solution is:

\[
x = 5
\]
