Solve 7(3(x-10))=140

Evaluate

7 (3 (x - 10)) = 140

Remove the parentheses

7 \times 3 (x - 10) = 140

Multiply the terms

21 (x - 10) = 140

Divide both sides

\frac{21 ( x - 10 )}{21} = \frac{140}{21}

Divide the numbers

x - 10 = \frac{140}{21}

Cancel out the common factor 7

x - 10 = \frac{20}{3}

Move the constant to the right side

x = \frac{20}{3} + 10

Solution
