You could solve it with these two steps:
#1). Subtract 6 from each side of the equation.
and then
#2). Divide each side by 7.
If you'll do that, the solution will be right there on the paper in front of you.
It'll begin with "x =", and right after that will be the value of 'x'.
I'm attaching the graph of the above function
Take -5x + 3x = -2x
because there is a -3x and a 3x they cancel each other out.
and the -17 is left
-2x = -17
divide -2 by -17 = 8.5
I have the same question on a test I'm taking thanks
I hope this helps, If there are 5 cups of flour, then there will be 7 and 1/2 cups of sugar:)
