Question

x+7- 8x/3 = 17/6 -5 please find the answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3x - 8x}{21} = \frac{17 - 30}{6} \\ \frac{ - 5x}{21} = \frac{ - 12}{6} \\ - 5x = - 2 \times 21 \\ x = \frac{ - 42}{ - 5} \\ x = \frac{42}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5½

Step-by-step explanation:

x+7 - 8x/3 = 17/6 - 5

[3(x+7) - 8x] / 3 = (17 - 30)/6

(3x + 21 - 8x) / 3 = (-13)/6

(-5x + 21) / 3 = (-13) / 6

Cross multiplication

6(-5x + 21) = 3(-13)

-30x + 126 = -39

-30x = -165

x = -165/-30 = 55/10 = 11/2 = 5½

Hope it helps.
