Question

3x-15=17-x. Check your solution

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-15=17-x  move variable to the left and change its sign

3x+x-15=17  collect like terms

4x=17 + 15 (3x=x=4x)

4x= 32  divide both sides by 4

x=8   (dividing 4x by 4 cancels the 4,s out and leaves x)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-15=17-x

3x-x=17-15

2x=2

x=1
