Answer:
<em>x = 7</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
17 = 3X + -4
Reorder the terms:
17 = -4 + 3X
Solving
17 = -4 + 3X
Solving for variable 'X'.
Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.
17 + -3X = -4 + 3X + -3X
Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0
17 + -3X = -4 + 0
17 + -3X = -4
Add '-17' to each side of the equation.
17 + -17 + -3X = -4 + -17
Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0
0 + -3X = -4 + -17
-3X = -4 + -17
Combine like terms: -4 + -17 = -21
-3X = -21
Divide each side by '-3'.
X = 7
Simplifying
X = 7
