Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3x + 5 = x + 17
Reorder the terms:
5 + 3x = x + 17
Reorder the terms:
5 + 3x = 17 + x
Solving
5 + 3x = 17 + x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
5 + 3x + -1x = 17 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x
5 + 2x = 17 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
5 + 2x = 17 + 0
5 + 2x = 17
Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + 2x = 17 + -5
Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + 2x = 17 + -5
2x = 17 + -5
Combine like terms: 17 + -5 = 12
2x = 12
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 6
Simplifying
x = 6
Answer:
The answer to the equation should be -2
Answer:
b x =-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(2x+1) + 3x = 6x + 3
Distribute
-6x -3 +3x =6x+3
Combine like terms
-3x-3 = 6x+3
Add 3x to each side
-3x+3x-3 = 6x+3x+3
-3 = 9x+3
Subtract 3 from each side
-3-3 = 9x+3-3
-6 = 9x
Divide by 9
-6/9 = 9x/9
-2/3 =x
