Question

Solve 6x + 5 = 2x + 17. Think and answer

Answer 1

6x+5=2x+17
6x-2x=17-5
4x=12
x=12/4
x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$6x + 5 = 2x + 17$

To find:- The value of x,

To solve this, we have to use the transposition method:  

As we have,

=> $6x + 5 = 2x + 17$

Subtract both sides by $5$, we get

=> $6x + 5-5 = 2x + 17-5$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $6x = 2x + 17-5$

Subtract the numbers,

=> $6x = 2x + 12$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides, we get

=> $6x -2x = 2x + 12-2x$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $4 x =1 2$

Divide both sides by $4$, we get

=> $x = 3$

Hence, the required solution is 3.
