Question

innthe expression 17-4x=67-9x, what is the value of x? please show me the steps.

Answer 1

17-4x=67-9x

add 9x to both sides
17 - 4x + 9x = 67 - 9x + 9x
simplify
17 + 5x = 67
subtract 17 from both sides
17-17 + 5x = 67-17
simplify
5x = 50
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 50/5
simplify
x = 10
done!
