Rogelio Lyons · Answer 1

2 (x-3) + 5x=5 (2x+6) - - - Distribute

2x-6+5x=10x+30 - - - Combine like terms

7x-6=10x+30 - - - Subtract x from both sides

-6=3x+30 - - - Subtract 30 from both sides

-36=3x - - - Divide both sides by 3

x=-12 (B)

It should be D. - 2 Since the x Is subtracting from 5 over 3 and you need to do Inverse Operation making it Negative so yeah, - 2
