Answer:
17 with a remainder of 25
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-7)+8=-20
Multiply the bracket by 3
(3)(x)(3(-7)+8= -20
3x-21+8= -20
3x-13= -20
Move -13 to the other side. Sign changes from -13 to +13.
3x-13+13= -20+13
3x= -7
Divide by 3
3x/3= -7/3
x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3
Answer : x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3
