Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

3x + 2 = 17

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Subtract 2 on both sides:                   3x = 15
2. Divide 3 on both sides:                       x = 5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in x:                    3(5) + 2 = 17
2. Multiply:                               15 + 2 = 17
3. Add:                                     17 = 17

Here we see that 17 does indeed equal 17.

∴ x = 5 is a solution of the equation.

Answer 2

X is equal to 5, subtract 2 from the both sides then divide by 3
