Answer:

one solution = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

5x+17=(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)(Distribute)

5x+17=12x+−4

5x+17=12x−4

Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.

5x+17−12x=12x−4−12x

−7x+17=−4

Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−7x+17−17=−4−17

−7x=−21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -7

-7x/-7 = -21/-7 = 3

What are the angles of a triangle

Talja [164]

The angles inside a triangle are called interior angles. The diagram below shows the interior and exterior angles of a triangle. The three interior angles in a triangle will always add up to 180°. At each corner the exterior and interior angles are on a straight line, so at each corner these two angles add up to 180°.
