Question

Which of the following shows the correct solution steps and solution to 3x+2=17?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x = 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 3x + 2= 17$

Subtracting 2 to both sides

$\sf 3x = 17-2\\3x = 15$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\sf x = 15/3\\x = 5$

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$3x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 23x = 15$

Next, we need to divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\x=5$

The answer, as stated above, is $x=5$
