Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving by expanding first.
Begin by multiplying the -10 across on the left side, then solve:
-10(x-1.7)=-3
-10x+17=-3
-10x=-3-17
-10x=-20
10x=20
x=20/10
x=2
Solving by dividing first.
Begin by divide the -10 on both sides, then solve:
-10(x-1.7)=-3
x-1.7=0.3
x=0.3+1.7
x=2
