## Text Solution

What is Known?

Value of $$x$$

What is unknown?

Value of the given expressions.

Reasoning:

This is based on concept of simplification of like terms and then putting given value of variable and then performing the arithmetic operation as given in the question. Value of $$x$$ is given as $$2$$

Steps:

(i) $$x + 7 + 4\left( {x - 5} \right)$$

\begin{align}& =x+7+4x-20 \\ & =5x-13\end{align}

Now putting value of $$x=2$$

\begin{align}&5x-13 \\ & =\left( 5\times 2 \right)-13 \\ & =10-13 \\ \text{ Ans} & =-3 \\ \end{align}

(ii) $$3\left( {x + 2} \right) + 5x - 7$$

\begin{align}&=3x+6+5x-7 \\&=8x-1\end{align}

Now putting value of $$x=2$$

\begin{align}&=\left( 8\times 2 \right)-1 \\&=16-1 \\\text{ Ans} &=15 \\\end{align}

(iii) $$6x + 5\left( {x - 2} \right)$$

\begin{align}& = 6x + 5x - 10\\& = 11x - 10\end{align}

Now putting value of $$x = 2$$

\begin{align}& = \left( {11 \times 2} \right) - 10\\\text{ Ans} & = 12\end{align}

(iv) $$4\left( {2x - 1} \right) + 3x + 11$$

\begin{align}& = 8x - 4 + 3x + 11\\& = 11x + 7\end{align}

Now putting value of  $$x = 2$$

\begin{align}&= (11 \times 2) + 7\\ & = 22 + 7\\\text{ Ans} & = 29\end{align}
