Greyson Santiago · Answer 1

First distribute the 5 to (x+6) so you get 37=-3+5x+30. The you would combine like terms resulting in 37=27+5x. Finally subtract 27 from both sides and then divide both sides by 5. This gives you x=2.

First, multiply 5 by (x+6) to get 5x + 30. You then get 5x+27 = 37. Subract 27 from both sides, and you get 5x=10. You then divide by 5 to get x is 2.
