Solve for x
(3x+5)=(9x-17)

me memory is coming back a little

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 5 = 9x + -17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = 9x + -17

Reorder the terms:

5 + 3x = -17 + 9x

Solving

5 + 3x = -17 + 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 3x + -9x = -17 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 3x + -9x = -6x

5 + -6x = -17 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

5 + -6x = -17 + 0

5 + -6x = -17

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + -6x = -17 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + -6x = -17 + -5

-6x = -17 + -5

Combine like terms: -17 + -5 = -22

-6x = -22

Divide each side by '-6'.

x = 3.666666667

Simplifying

x = 3.666666667

x≈ 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3x from both sides and add 17 to both sides. That leaves you with 22=6x. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the variable and you should get x equals about 3.7.
