Answer 2

Answer:

x = $\frac{-12}{37}$

or

x = $-\frac{12}{37}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are trying to find x:

1) Go by order of operations (PEMDAS)

217 + 37(3x - 5) = - 4

217 + 111x - 185 = - 4

111x + 217 - 185 = - 4

2) We Want to get 'x' by itself:

111x + 32 = - 4

        - 32 = -32

---------------------

111x = - 36

$\frac{111x}{111}$ = $\frac{-36}{111}$

(Simplify the expression)

x = $\frac{-36}{111}$

(Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 3)

x = $\frac{-12}{37}$

or

x = $-\frac{12}{37}$

(Both are the same)
