Question

17(2-x)-5(x+12)/1-7x =8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

17*(2-x)-5*(x+12)/1-7*x-(8)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

x + 12

Simplify ——————

1

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(((17•(2-x))-(5•(x+12)))-7x)-8 = 0

Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

(((17•(2-x))-5•(x+12))-7x)-8 = 0

Step 3 :

Equation at the end of step 3 :

((17•(2-x)-5•(x+12))-7x)-8 = 0

Step 4 :

Step 5 :

Pulling out like terms :

5.1 Pull out like factors :

-29x - 34 = -1 • (29x + 34)

Equation at the end of step 5 :

-29x - 34 = 0

Step 6 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

6.1 Solve : -29x-34 = 0

Add 34 to both sides of the equation :

-29x = 34

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 29x = -34

Divide both sides of the equation by 29:

x = -34/29 = -1.172

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

34-17x-5x-60=8(1-7x)

-22x-26=8-56x

-22+56x=8+26

34x=34

x=34/34

x=1
