Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x + 5 = 17

First, combine the constants by subtracting 5 from each side.

-6x = 17 - 5

-6x = 12

Now you want x by itself, so divide both sides by -6.

x = -2

Check your answer by plugging x = -2 into the original equation.

-6(-2) + 5 = 17

12 + 5 = 17

17 = 17

Your answer is correct.
