Question

Q:-solve and verify the equation
$5x - 4 = 6x - 17$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying 5x + -4 = 6x + -17

Reorder the terms: -4 + 5x = 6x + -17

Reorder the terms: -4 + 5x = -17 + 6x

Solving -4 + 5x = -17 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 5x + -6x = -17 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 5x + -6x = -1x -4 + -1x

= -17 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0 -4 + -1x = -17 + 0 -4 + -1x = -17

Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + 4 + -1x = -17 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + -1x = -17 + 4 -1x = -17 + 4 Combine like terms: -17 + 4 = -13 -1x = -13

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 13

Simplifying x = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\underbrace\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

⟹5x−4=6x−17

⟹ - 4 + 17 = 6x - 5x

⟹13 = x

CHECK:-

⟹5(13) - 4 = 6(13) - 17

⟹65 - 4 = 78 - 17

⟹61 = 61
