Question

solve the following equation. 17(2-x) - 5(x + 12)/ 1 - 7x = 8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

= $\frac{34-17x-5x-60}{1-7x}$ = 8

= $\frac{-17x-5x-60+34}{1-7x}$ = 8

= $\frac{-22x-26}{1-7x}$ = 8

= ${-22x-26}$ = 8 (${1-7x}$)

=  ${-22x-26}$ = 8 - ${56x}$

= ${-22x+56x}$ = ${8+26}$

= ${34x}$ = 34

= ${x}$ = $\frac{34}{34}$

= ${x}$ = 1
