Question

If 3x-25=x+17,then x=

Answer 1

Answer:

The value will be x $= 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

We have find the value of the supplied expression in the above question.

Given the data in question  3x-25=x+17,

We have find the value of x in above equation

Here we will use the transposition method

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side to other side,

So, we will shift 25 from LHS to RHS the sign will change from negative to positive,

So, we will shift x from RHS to LHS the sign will change from positive to negative,

As we get,

$3x-25=x+17\\3x-x=17+25\\2x=42$

Divide both side by 2 we get,

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{42}{2} \\x=21$

Hence the value will be x$= 21$

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

We have

$3x-25=x+17$

To find:- The value of $3x-25=x+17$,

Now, add 25 on both sides:

=> $3x-25+25=x+17+25$

Simplifying it further,

=> $3x=x+17+25$

Add the numbers,

=> $3x=x+42$

Subtract $x$ on both sides,

=> $3x-x=x+42-x$

=> $2x = 42$

Divide both sides by 2,

=> $x = 21$

Hence, the required solution is 21.
