Answer 1

Answer:

x = 11/10

Step-by-step explanation:

17x - 11 = -13x + 22

Add 13x to each side

17x+13x - 11 = -13x+13x + 22

30x -11 = 22

Add 11 to each

30x -11 +11 = 22+11

30x = 33

Divide by 30

30x/30 = 33/30

x = 11/10

Answer 2

Solve for x:

Add 13x on both sides to get the variable alone.

17x - 11 = -13x + 22

+13x        +13x

Add 11 on both sides get get the number on the other side.

30x - 11 = 22

       +11   +11

Divide 30 on both sides to get x alone.

30x = 33

30      30

You get the solution:

x = 1.1

Check:

17(1.1) - 11 = -13(1.1) + 22

18.7 - 11 = -14.3 + 22

7.7 = 7.7
