Simplify the right side of the equation:
Simplify the left side of the equation:
To simplify the right side of the equation, we can combine like terms:
9 - 3x + 6 + 8 + 3x + 7 = 9 + 6 + 8 + 7 + (-3x + 3x) = 30
To simplify the left side of the equation, we can use the Distributive Property:
2(x - 5) = 2 * x + 2 * (-5) = 2x - 10
Simplify the right side of the equation:
To simplify the right side of the equation, we can combine like terms.
Combining the constants, we have: 9 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 30.
Therefore, the right side of the equation simplifies to 30.
Simplify the left side of the equation:
To simplify the left side of the equation, we can distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses.
Using the distributive property, we have: 2(x - 5) = 2x - 10.
Therefore, the left side of the equation simplifies to 2x - 10.
