Question

If 6x -3 =x+17 find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

Take x to the left side and 3 to the right side

that is; 6x-x=17-3

5x=15

x=15/3

x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x will be 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to find the value of x,

As per data given in the question,

We have,

$6x -3 =x+17$

Now, add 3 on both sides:

=> $6x -3+3 =x+17+3$

=> $6x=x+17+3$

Add the numbers,

=> $6x=x+20$

Subtract $x$ on both sides,

=> $6x-x=x+20-x$

=> $5x = 20$

Divide both sides by 5,

=> $x = 4$

Hence, the required solution is 4.
