X(x+3) + 34 = (x +5)(x+2)

X(x + 3) + 34 = (x + 5)(x + 2)

First, expand to remove parentheses. 

Second, add '2x + 5x' to get '7x'.

Third, cancel out '' on both sides.

Fourth, subtract '3x' from both sides.

Fifth, subtract '7x - 3x' to get '4x'.

Sixth, subtract '10' from both sides.

Seventh, subtract '34 - 10' to get '24'.

Eighth, divide both sides by '4', leaving the 'x' by itself.

Ninth, since '24 ÷ 4 = 6', simplify the fraction to '6'.

Tenth, switch your sides to get the answer.


 x = 6
