To simplify the right side of the equation, we can combine like terms.
The right side of the equation: 3 - 7x + 5 + 8 + 7x + 11
Combining like terms, we have:
3 + 5 + 8 + 11 = 27
So, the right side of the equation simplifies to 27.
Next, let's simplify the left side of the equation using the Distributive Property.
The left side of the equation: 2(x - 7)
Using the Distributive Property, we multiply 2 by each term inside the parentheses:
2 * x = 2x
2 * -7 = -14
So, the left side of the equation simplifies to 2x - 14.
Now we have:
2x - 14 = 27
To simplify the right side of the equation, we need to combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable(s) raised to the same exponent(s).
Looking at the right side of the equation: 3 - 7x + 5 + 8 + 7x + 11, we can group the like terms together.
First, let's group the constant terms (numbers without variables): 3 + 5 + 8 + 11 = 27.
Now, let's group the terms with 'x' together: -7x + 7x = 0x. Any term with a variable that cancels out with an equal negative term will result in 0x.
Therefore, the simplified right side of the equation is 27.
To simplify the left side of the equation, we need to apply the Distributive Property.
The equation is 2(x - 7) = 3 - 7x + 5 + 8 + 7x + 11.
To distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses, we multiply it by each term inside the parentheses.
2(x - 7) = 2 * x - 2 * 7 = 2x - 14.
Now, the equation becomes 2x - 14 = 27 on the left side.
So, the simplified right side of the equation is 27 and the simplified left side of the equation is 2x - 14.
