Solve for x 5(6+3x)+7=127

$5 (6 + 3 x) + 7 = 127$

Step 1

Simplify $5 (6 + 3 x) + 7$ .

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$5 \cdot 6 + 5 (3 x) + 7 = 127$

Multiply $5$ by $6$ .

$30 + 5 (3 x) + 7 = 127$

Multiply $3$ by $5$ .

$30 + 15 x + 7 = 127$

Add $30$ and $7$ .

$15 x + 37 = 127$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $37$ from both sides of the equation.

$15 x = 127 - 37$

Subtract $37$ from $127$ .

$15 x = 90$

Step 3

Divide each term in $15 x = 90$ by $15$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $15 x = 90$ by $15$ .

$\frac{15 x}{15} = \frac{90}{15}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $15$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{15 x}{15} = \frac{90}{15}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{90}{15}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $90$ by $15$ .

$x = 6$
