Question

X=2x+3-17 how do i solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-4.67

Step-by-step explanation:

add like terms 3-17

then take x=2x-14

add 2x to both sides

3x=-14

divide by 3 and you get your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2x + 3 - 17

x = 2x - 14  ( put together like terms )

x - 2x = -14  ( subtracted 2x from the right side and placed it on the left )

-x = -14 ( like terms )

x = 14 ( subtraction signs cancelled each other out )
