Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
3(x + 5)+ 2 = 42.5
5

Solution steps (answer choices):

Add 2 to both sides
Multiply both sides by 2
1
Multiply both sides by
2
Subtract 2 from both sides
Subtract 5 from both sides
Square both sides
Take the square root of both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Distribute or Divide (3) or Subtract (2)

3 (x + 5) + 2 = 3x + 15

2: Combine like terms

3x + 17 = 42.5 + 5

3: Subtract/Add

3x = 42.5 - 17 + 5

4: Divide/Multiply (If divide in first step, this one is skipped.)

x = 30.5 / 3

5: Solve

x = 10.166...
