Answer
The answer is x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
17x-3-x-9=68
Okay so first you need to combine similar terms.
So -3-9=-12
17x-x=16x
So then you get 16x-12=68
Add 12 on both sides
then you get 16x= 80
Divide by 16 on both sides
80/16=5
so then you get
x=5
Answer:
[tex]\sf 17x-3-x-9=68[/tex]
[tex]\sf 16x-12=68[/tex]
[tex]\sf 16x-12+12=68+12[/tex]
[tex]\sf 16x=80[/tex]
[tex]\sf \cfrac{16x}{16}=\cfrac{80}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\sf x=5[/tex]
Hope it helps!
