Question

solve the following equation and check the result: 5x - 3 = x + 17​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

solution:

5x-3=x+17

5x-x=17+3

4x=20

x=20/4

x=5

verification:

if x=5

then,

LHS

=5x-3

=5(5)-3

=25-3

=22

RHS

=x+17

=5+17

=22

LHS = RHS

Answer 2

Answer:

5x-3=x+17

5x-x=17+3

4x=20

x=20/4

x=5

hence solved
