Question

5 – 6x = 8x + 17 and simplify $\frac{-6}{7}$

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5 – 6x = 8x + 17

-5                 - 5           Subtract 5 from both sides

-6x = 8x + 12

-8x   - 8x                     Subtract 8x from both sides

-14x = 12                      Divide both sides by -14

x = -12/14                     Simplify

x = -6/7
