Answer 2

Given:

   5x - 3 = x + 17

To Find:

   Value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 3 = x + 17

Solving for x

We will put the x terms together to find the value of x.

5x - x = 17 + 3

4x = 17 + 3

4x = 20

Now we will divide 20 by 4 to get x

x = $\frac{20}{4}$

x = $\frac{5}{1}$

∴ x = 5,

Hence the value of x is 5 for the equation 5x - x = 17 + 3.

x is 5.
