Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + 3x + -8 = 17

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 2x + 3x = 17

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x

-8 + 5x = 17

Solving

-8 + 5x = 17

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 5x = 17 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 5x = 17 + 8

5x = 17 + 8

Combine like terms: 17 + 8 = 25

5x = 25

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5
