Question

011. Solve the following equation:
3x + 17 = 2(4x + 5) + 32

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+17=2(4x+5)+32

3x+17=(2)(4x)+(2)(5)+32(Distribute)

3x+17=8x+10+32

3x+17=(8x)+(10+32)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+17=8x+42

3x+17=8x+42

3x+17−8x=8x+42−8x

−5x+17=42

−5x+17−17=42−17

−5x=25

-5x /-5x = 25 /-5

x= -5

Answer 2

$3x + 17 = 2(4x + 5) + 32$

$3x + 17 = 8x + 10 + 32$

$3x + 17 = 8x + 42$

$3x - 8x = 42 - 17$

$- 5x = 25$

$x = \frac{ - 25}{5}$

$x = - 5$
