( x -4 ) x3 + 7 = 240
(x-4) x 3= 240 -7
(x-4) x 3 = 233
x-4= 233/3
x= 233/3 +4
x= 245/3
3 x ( X - 5 ) + 8 x X = 62
3 x X + 8 x X - 15 = 62
11 x X = 62 + 15
11 x X = 77
X=77:11
X=7
\(\left(x-4\right)\times3+7=240\)
\(\left(x-4\right)\times3=233\)
\(x-4=\dfrac{233}{3}\)
\(x=\dfrac{233}{3}+4\)
\(x=\dfrac{245}{3}\)
\(3\times\left(x-5\right)+8\times x=62\)
\(3\times x-15+8\times x=62\)
\(3\times x+8\times x=77\)
\(11\times x=77\)
\(x=\dfrac{77}{11}=7\)
