Solve for the value of x in this equation: -10x+17x-2 = 5(x+4) I need help ASAP
Needs to be step by step

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 10x from 17x

10x and 17x are like terms. So, the coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

Move 5x to left hand side ( L.H.S ) and change it's sign

Similarly , move 2 to right hand side ( R.H.S ) and change it's sign

Subtract 5x from 7x

Add the numbers : 20 and 2

Divide both sides by 2

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now, let's check whether the value of x is 11 or not.

L.H.S = n

Plug the value of x and simplify

R.H.S =

plug the value of x and simplify

L.H.S = R.H.S

The value of x is 11 .

Hope I helped!

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
