Find the value of x in (4x - 5) = 7 (x - 5)

Answer: x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(4 x - 5) = 7 (x - 5)

Simplify 7 (x - 5).

4 x - 5 = 7 x - 35

Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.

- 3 x - 5 = - 35

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

- 3 x = - 30

Divide each term by - 3 and simplify.

x = 10
