Question

x+7 - 8x/3 = 17/6 - 5x/2

Find x

Answer 1

x+7-8x/3=17/6-5/2
=x-8x/3=17/6-7-5x/2
=x-8x/3+5x/2=17\6-7
=3x-8x/3+5x/2=17-42/6
=-5x/3+5x/2=-25/6
=10x+15x/6=-25/6
=5x=25
x=5

Answer 2

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

x− 8x/ 3 + 5x/ 2 = 17 /6 − 7.

6x – 16x + 15x = 17 – 42

5x = −25

x = −25 /5

x =  − 5
