Question

-6x+5+2=-17
what is X? and how do I get the answer?

Answer 1

Step by step equation:

-6x + 5 + 2 = -17 → we solve for 5 + 2

-6x + 7 = -17 → we take 7 to the right side of the equation

-6x = -17 - 7 → we solve for -17 - 7

-6x = -24 → we take -6 to the right side of the equation

x = -24 / -6 → we solve for -24 / -6

x = 4 → final answer

Hope it helped,
