Can Someone Check My Anwsers?
1. -17=10x+3
= x=2
2.9x+5=7x+3x-2
= x= 7/1= 7
#I Do Have My Work Shown, On a Separate Sheet Of Paper .
But I Want to Know If I Got My Answers Right.
In solving equations, we do not put an = sign in front of a new line.
-17 = 10x + 3
-20 = 20x
-2 = x
or
x = -2
9x + 5 = 7x + 3x - 2
9x + 5 = 10x - 2
9x - 10x = -2 - 5
-x = -7
x = 7
I would deduct marks for "bad form" in your solution.
Thanks!

Sure! I can help you check your answers.
1. -17 = 10x + 3:
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x. First, subtract 3 from both sides:
-17 - 3 = 10x + 3 - 3
-20 = 10x
Next, divide both sides by 10:
-20/10 = 10x/10
-2 = x
So the answer is x = -2.
Based on your answer of x = 2, it seems there might be a mistake in your calculations. Please double-check your work.
2. 9x + 5 = 7x + 3x - 2:
Similarly, we need to isolate x to find the solution. Combine like terms on the right side:
9x + 5 = 7x + 3x - 2
9x + 5 = 10x - 2
Next, subtract 9x from both sides:
9x - 9x + 5 = 10x - 9x - 2
5 = x - 2
Finally, add 2 to both sides:
5 + 2 = x - 2 + 2
7 = x
Based on your answer of x = 7, it aligns with the solution for the given equation. Well done!
