Answer 2

Answer:

x=+7

Step-by-step explanation:

We move all terms to the left:

x+17-(2(5x-23))=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2(5x-23)), so:

2(5x-23)

We multiply parentheses

10x-46

Back to the equation:

-(10x-46)

We get rid of parentheses

x-10x+46+17=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-9x+63=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-9x=-63

x=-63/-9

x=+7
