Answer 2

Given - 5x - 3 = x + 17

Find - Value of x

Solution - The equation can be solved by exchanging the values on Left Hand Side and Right Hand Side, following the usage of signs.

5x - x = 17 + 3

4x = 20

x = 5

Now, to verify the equation, we will keep the value of x in mentioned equation.

5*5 - 3 = 5 + 17

25 - 3 = 22

22 = 22

Since the values on both sides are equal, hence, the value of x is correct.
