Question

Solve : 17(2-x ) - 5 (x +12 ) = 18
find x pls give me the answer fast
thanks :)​

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of x.

       Given data- $17(2-x)-5(x+12)=18.$

       To determine the value of x=?

        Solution:-

• We will observe the linear equation and identify the variable and constant terms.
• Then, we will remove brackets and shift all terms containing variables on LHS and constant on RHS.
• The sign will change in shifting them from LHS to RHS vice-versa.
• then, we will simplify the term and divide all terms with a coefficient of variables.

        Therefore,

         $\Rightarrow 17(2-x)-5(x+12)=18\\\Rightarrow 34-17x-5x-60=18\\\Rightarrow -17x-5x=18+60-34\\\Rightarrow -22x=44\\\Rightarrow x=-2.$

         Hence, the required number will be $-2.$

 

Answer 2

As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of x.

We have,

Given data-$17(2-x)-5(x+12)=18 .$

For determining the value of x, we will solve the given equation.

For solving the expression we will remove brackets and shift all terms containing variables on LHS and constant on RHS.

While we shift the terms from other side of equation,

Then, the sign will change in shifting them from LHS to RHS vice-versa.  

Therefore, we will get,

$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 17(2-x)-5(x+12)=18 \\\Rightarrow 34-17 x-5 x-60=18 \\\Rightarrow-17 x-5 x=18+60-34 \\\Rightarrow-22 x=44 \\\Rightarrow x=-2\end{array}$

Hence, the required number will be -2.
