C - 0.17c = 0.83c
When you write “c” at the start, or x or whatever, it has an understood (invisible) number 1. So you’re subtracting the decimal on the next variable from 1.
Answer:
x=16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x−2(x+1)=14
Distribute
5x -2x -2 =14
Combine like terms
3x -2 =14
Add 2 to each side
3x-2+2 =14+2
3x=16
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 16/3
x=16/3
Multiply both sides by 2
(2) 18 = x/2 (2)
the /2 (2) gets canceled out
so it's 36= x
