Question

5/6x + 7 = 17 (step by step pls)

Answer 1

5/6x + 7 = 17

Subtract 7 from both sides:

5/6x = 10

Divide both sides by 5/6:

X = 10/ 5/6

When dividing a number by a fraction flip

The fraction over and multiply:

X = 10 x 6/5

Simplify

X = (10x6)/5

X = 60/5

X = 12

The answer is x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {x = 12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$:

$\frac{5}{6}x + 7 = 17$

-Subtract both sides by $7$:

$\frac{5}{6}x + 7 - 7 = 17 - 7$

$\frac{5}{6}x = 10$

-Multiply both sides by $\frac{6}{5}$, which is the reciprocal of $\frac{5}{6}$:

$x = 10 \times (\frac{6}{5})$

$x = \frac{10 \times 6}{5}$

$x = \frac{60}{5}$

-Divide $60$ by $5$:

$x = \frac{60}{5}$

$\boxed {x = 12}$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is $12$.
