Question

3 (4x - 3) - 2 (5x - 8) = 17​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(4x - 3) - 2(5x - 8) = 17$

$12x - 9 - 10x + 16 = 17$

$12x - 10x + 16 - 9 = 17$

$2x + 7 = 17$

$2x = 17 - 7$

$2x = 10$

$x = \frac{10}{2}$

$x = 5$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-9-(-10x16)=17

12x-9-(-160)=17

12x-9+160=17

+169 +12x =17

12x=17-169

12x=-152

x=152/12
