Question

solve the following equation and check your answer. 3x+5-x=17​

Answer 1

Given Expression,

$\bf 3x + 5 - x = 17$

solve the Equation and verify it.

SOLUTION :-

$\rm⇢ \: \: 3x + 5 - x = 17$

$\rm⇢ \: \: 2x + 5 = 17$

$\rm⇢ \: \: 2x = 12$

$\rm⇢ \: \: x = \frac{12}{2}$

$\rm⇢ \: \: x = 6$

Value of x is 6 .

Verification :-

$\rm⇢ \: \: 3(6) + 5 - 6 = 17$

$\rm⇢ \: \: 18 - 1 = 17$

$\rm⇢ \: \: 17 = 17$

$\rm⇢ \: \: LHS=RHS$

Hence, Verified

Answer 2

3x+5=17

3x-x=17-5

2x=12

x=12/2

x=6
