Question

16-3(x-2)=17, please answer

Answer 1

Answer:

$13(x - 2) = 17$

$13x - 26 = 17$

$13x = 17 + 26$

$x = 43 \div 13$

Answer 2

Answer:

$16 - 3(x - 2) = 17 \\ 16 - 3x + 6 = 17 \\ 22 - 3x = 17 \\ - 3x + 22 = 17 \\ subtract \: 22 \: from \: both \: sides \\ - 3x + 22 - 22 = 17 - 22 \\ - 3x = - 5 \\ x = 5 \div 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5/3
