Answer:
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]4x − 5 = −17[/tex]
Add 5 to both sides of the equation
That's
[tex]4x + 5 - 5 = - 17 + 5 \\ 4x = - 12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
[tex] \frac{4x}{4} = - \frac{12}{4} \\ [/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex]x = 3 \\ [/tex]
Hope this helps you
