Question

Solve: -8-5/3x=17

i just need the answer fast

Answer 1

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the question is

$-8-(5/3)x=17$

Then we have

$-(5/3)x=17+8$

Multiply both sides by -(3/5) to get

$x=25\cdot (-3/5)\\x=(25/5)\cdot (-3)\\x=5\cdot (-3)\\x=-15$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 8 - $\frac{5}{3}$ x = 17 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 24 - 5x = 51 ( add 24 to both sides )

- 5x = 75 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = - 15
