Step 1
Given :
x+32+x+45=310
Step 2
Definition:
An expression is a number, a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operation symbols.
An equation is a mathematical statement consisting of an equal sign.
So, the given problem is an equation.
Step 3
Now, solve the given equation x+32+x+45=310.
The least common denominator of 2, 5 ,10 is 10.
So, multiply by the least common denominator on both sides of the equation,
x+32×10+x+45×10=310×10
Simplify it,
(x+3)×5+(x+4)×2=3
5x+15+2x+8=3
7x+23=3
7x+233=0
7x+20=0
7x=20
x=207
So, the solution of an equation is x=207.
