If 2 (x+5) = 7x-5, then what is the value of 2X squared + 10

28

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to evaluate for the value of x from this 2 (x+5) = 7x-5, we will open the bracket and the evaluate for x.

solution

2 (x+5) = 7x-5

2x + 10 = 7x - 5

collect the like terms together

2x + 10 + 5 = 7x

15 = 7x - 2x

15 = 5x

divide both sides by 5

15/5 = 5x/5

3 = x

x = 3

so, to evaluate for 2x² + 10

will be

2x² + 10

2 (3) ² + 10

2 x 9 + 10

18 + 10
