Question

help pleasw!!!!!!!
$17x - 18 = 2(7x)$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

17x − 18 = 2(7x)

• Simplify both sides of the equation

17x − 18 = 2(7x)

17x + −18 = 14x

17x − 18 = 14x

• Subtract 14x from both sides

17x − 18 − 14x = 14x − 14x

3x − 18 = 0

• Add 18 to both sides

3x − 18 + 18 = 0 + 18

3x = 18

• Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = 18 / 3

x = 6

Answer 2

17x - 18 = 2(7x)
17x - 18 = 14x
subtract 17x from both sides of the equation
-18 = -3x
divide -3 from both sides of the equation to get the x alone
6 = x
