Write this as a problem.
Add 5 to the sum of x and 21 times 7 and the result is 21.
x+(21*7)+5=21
Check my thinking. Check my work.
Thank you
Let's write this problem as a mathematical equation:
x + (21 * 7) + 5 = 21
To solve this equation, we can start by simplifying the expression 21 * 7:
x + 147 + 5 = 21
Now, we can combine like terms to simplify further:
x + 152 = 21
Next, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 152 from both sides of the equation:
x + 152 - 152 = 21 - 152
This simplifies to:
x = -131
Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation is -131.
