Solve: -4x-8x+17=23 check solution

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to combine like terms:

-12x+17=23

Simplify further:

-12x=6

Divide by -12 on both sides to get:

x = -\frac{1}{2}

To check  the solution, plug x back into the original equation and check if we get the correct answer:

-4(-\frac{1}{2})-8(-\frac{1}{2})+17=23

2+4+17= 23

23=23

Thus, it checks out and our answer is correct.
