Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 17 = -x +7
Add x to each side
5x+x - 17 = -x+x +7
6x -17 = 7
Add 17 to each side
6x-17+17 = 7+17
6x =24
Divide each side by 6
6x/6 = 24/6
x = 4
4
5x - 17 = -x + 7
Add x on both sides.
5x - 17 + x = -x + 7 + x
6x - 17 = 7
Add 17 on both sides.
6x - 17 + 17 = 7 + 17
6x = 24
Divide both sides by 6.
(6x)/6 = 24/6
