    Finding the value of x
    I am having trouble figuring out x on some algebra problems and I have to show how I get my answers and verify the problems. One I am having trouble with is
    5(x+1)+6(x+2)=7(x+3)

    First distribute the terms

    5(x+1) = 5x+5
    6(x+2) = 6x+12
    7(x+3) = 7x+21

    5x + 5 + 6x + 12 = 7x + 21

    Can you solve it now?
