Question

Solve for x and verify 17(2-x) -5(x+12) =8(1-7x)

Answer 1

hey mate your answer is here ⬇️ ⬇️⬇️⬇️.

17(2-x) -5(x+12) =8(1-7x)

34 - 17x -5x - 60 = 8 - 56x

-22x - 26 = 8 - 56x

-22x + 56x = 8 + 26

34x = 34

x = 34/34

=>>. x = 1

now we have to need varify the answer

so

LHS= 17(2-x) -5(x+12)

RHS= 8(1-7x)

now put the value of x in LHS and RHS

for LHS = 17(2-1) -5(1+12)

= 17×1 - 5×13

= 17 - 65

= -48

now for RHS = 8(1-7×1)

= 8 × -6

= -48

since LHS = RHS

hence verify...

hope it helps you...
