subtract 17, not 22, from both sides. 17 – 17 = 0 and 22 – 17 = 5. The answer should be x = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.
Lester made mistake in first steps he subtract 22 from the equation.
The correct solution of the equation is x =5.
Lester was solving an equation but he made a mistake.
