Question

if 3x-7= 17 what is the value of x

Answer 1

3x-7=17
3x=17+7
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8

Answer 2

$3x - 7 = 17 \\ = > 3x = 17 + 7$
When RHS goes to LHS or LHS goes to RHS, symbols changes so
$3x = 17 + 7 \\ = > 3x = 24 \\ = > x = 24 \div 3 \\ = > x = 8$
since 3 was multiply with x(RHS) we divided when it goes in LHS.


so 8 is your answer

Hope it helps dear friend ☺️✌️
