X-1= 5x+3x-8
Combine like terms
x-1= 8x-8
Our goal is to isolate x by cancelling out other numbers.
Subtract x from both sides
x-1-x= 8x-x-8
-1= 7x-8
Add 8 to both sides
7=7x
Divide both sides by 7
1=x
Final answer: x=1
X=8,3 . i have to type more to submit the answer

I really hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
brainliest please? :)
Let the faculties be X and the number of students be Y.
X/Y = 17/3
3X= 17Y
X=17Y/3
Let that be equation 1
We also know that X+Y = 740. Let it be equation 2
Substitute equation 1 in equation 2
(17Y/3)+Y= 740
20Y/3 = 740
Y=111
Since the total is 740, then X equal 740-111 =629.
The number of faculties is 111 and the number of students is 629.
