Simplify the right side of the equation:
Simplify the left side of the equation:
Simplify the right side of the equation: 9-3x+6+8+3x+7 = 32
Simplify the left side of the equation: 2(x-5) = 2x-10
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 -3x + 3x
= 30
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us 30.
Now let's simplify the left side of the equation using the Distributive Property:
2(x - 5)
= 2 * x - 2 * 5
= 2x - 10
Therefore, the simplified left side of the equation is 2x - 10.
