Which of the following shows the correct solution steps and solution to
3x + 2 = 17?

x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2=7

3x=7-2

3x=5

divide

x=5/3

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation:

3x + 2 = 17

      -2     -2

      3x/3 = 15/3

       x = 5

The answer is x = 5.

I hope I helped and have a great day! ^-^

the answer is 1/4

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
