Question

MAX POINTS!!! Where did I go wrong? Please explain where I went wrong and redo it.

Answer 1

Answer: x=21/8

17+5(2x-9)=(-6x+10)+4

17+5(2x-9)=-6x+10+4

-6x+10+4 gets simplified to -6x+14

10+4=14

Plug into the equation

17+5(2x-9)=-6x+14

Then we do 5x2=10 and 5x9=-45

17+10x-45=-6x+14

Then we simplify 17+10x-45 to 10x-28

17-45=-28

10x-28=-6x+14+28

Then we add 28 to both sides

28 and 28 cancel eachothe out

28+14=42

Plug 42 into the equation

10x=-6x+42

Add 6x to both sides

10x+6x=42

6x and 6x cancel eachother out

10x+6x=16x

16x=42

Divided both sides by 16

16x/6=42/16

x=42/16

Simplify 42/16 to 21/8

Divide by 2

42 divided by 2=21

8 divided by 2=8

x=21/8

Answer 2

Answer:

• You are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

• 17 + 5(2x - 9) = (-6x + 10) + 4
• => 17 + 10x -45 = -6x + 10 + 4
• => -28 + 10x = -6x + 14
• => 6x + 10x = 28 + 14
• => 16x = 42
• => x = 42/16
• => x = 21/8

Check:

• 17 + 5(2{21/8} - 9) = (-6{21/8} + 10) + 4
• => 17 + 5(42/8 - 9) = -15.75 + 10 + 4
• => 17 + 5(-3.75) = -1.75
• => 17 - 18.75 = -1.75
• => -1.75 = -1.75

Conclusion:

Therefore, I think you are correct.

Hoped this helped.
