Question

  1. equation editor solve the equation shown for x. 3x - 15 = 17 - x

Explanation:

Step1: Add x to both sides

$3x - 15+x=17 - x+x$
$4x-15 = 17$

Step2: Add 15 to both sides

$4x-15 + 15=17+15$
$4x=32$

Step3: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{32}{4}$
$x = 8$

Answer:

$x = 8$
