Answer:
x = 4, 10a
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-2) + 2(2x+5) = 32
3x - 6 + 4x + 10 = 32
3x + 4x + 10 - 6 = 32
7x + 4 = 32
7x = 32 - 4
7x = 28
Divide both side by 7
x = 4
a + 2a + 7a
They are common because the have the same variables.
'a' is with a coefficient of 1
You add the coefficient and attach the variable to it
Therefore,
a + 2a + 7a = 10a
