Answer:

TV = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

TV = TU + UV

3x + 6 = 5x + 2

Shift the unknowns to the left, constants to the right.

3x - 5x = 2 - 6

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2.

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into the equation for TV (3x + 6),

3x + 6

= 3(2) + 6

= 6 + 6

= 12

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$x = \frac{22}{3}$

<h3>alternative form:</h3>

$x = 7 \frac{1}{3} \: or \: x = 7.33333333333$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

$2(3x + 1) = 17 - 3( x - 17) \\ distribute \\ \\ 6x + 2 = 17 - 3x + 51 \\ add \: 3x \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 9x + 2 = 17 + 51 \\ add \: 17 \: to \: 51 \\ \\ 9x + 2 = 68 \\ subtract \: 2 \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 9x = 66 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 9 \\ \\ x = \frac{22}{3}$
