17 x - 3 - x -9 = 68

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:

  • x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

[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]
