Question

Solve the equation

17 (2-4) - 5(x + 12) / 1-7x = 8

Answer 1

Here, as provided question, we are asked to solve the equation and the provided informations in the question are given here –

GIVEN :

$➠ \: \frac{ \bold {17 \: ( 2 - 4) \: - \: 5 \: ( \rm {x} + \bold {12})}}{ \bold {1 - 7 \rm {x}}} = 8$

TO FIND :

• The value gained after solving the equation = ?

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION :

Now, here we will solve the equation as it's given with an appropriate value –

$➠ \: \frac{ \bold {17 \: ( 2 - 4) \: - \: 5 \: ( \rm {x} + \bold {12})}}{ \bold {1 - 7 \rm {x}}} = 8$

$➠ \: 34 - 17 \rm {x} - 5 \rm {x} - 60 = 8 \: (1 - 7 \rm {x)}$

$➠ \: - 26 - 22 \rm {x} = 8 - 56 \rm {x}$

$➠ \: 34 \rm {x} = 34$

$➠ \: \rm {x} = \frac {\bold{34}}{ \bold {34}} = 1$

$➠ \: \rm {x} = 1$

Therefore, after solving the equation we got the value of x = 1.
