Question

solve 17(1-x)-5(x+12)/1-7x = 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(17 ( 1 - x ) - 5 ( x + 12 ) ) / ( 1 - 7x) = 8

17 - 17x - 5x - (5×12) = 8 - (8×7)x

17 - 17x - 5x - 60 = 8 - 56x

-43 -22x = 8 - 56x

56x - 22x = 8 + 43

34x = 51

x = 51/34 (by cancelling in 17 table)

x = 3/2 or 1.5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3/2 or x=1.5

explanation:

$\frac{17(1-x)-5(x+12)}{1-7x} =8\\\\17(1-x)-5(x+12) = 8(1-7x)\\\\17-17x-5x-60=8-56x\\\\-22x-43=8-56x\\\\-22x+56x=8+43\\\\34x=56\\\\x=\frac{51}{34} \\\\simplify,\\\\ x=\frac{3}{2} (or) x = 1.5$
