Answer:
[tex]x=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation
[tex]10-(x+2)=7x[/tex]
The first thing we need to do is distribute the negative throughout the parenthesis
[tex]10-x-2=7x[/tex]
Now, we can combine like terms
[tex]8-x=7x[/tex]
Now we can add x to each side
[tex]8x=8[/tex]
And lastly, we can divide each side by 8
[tex]x=1[/tex]
Our last step is to check our answer
[tex]10-(1+2)=7(1)\\\\10-(3)=7\\\\7=7[/tex]
