Answer:

To solve this equation your goal is to get x by itself

First we need to distribute the 3 through the (2x-7)

x-6x+21=76 (-3*2x=-6x, -7*-3=21)

Your next step is to combine like terms

-5x+21=76 (x-6x=-5x)

Next subtract 21 from both sides

-5x=55 (21-21=0, 76-21=55)

Last you need to divide both sides by -5

x=-11 (-5/-5=1, 55/-5=-11)

x=-11

Hope this helps ;)

Step-by-step explanation:

X - 3(2x - 7) = 76

Opening bracket

X - 6X + 21 = 76

-5X = 76 - 21

-5X = 55

X = 55/-5

X = -11
