Answer:
[tex]2x = 8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to find the value of 'x'.
This means that we need to solve for 'x' in the equation that is given.
======================================================
[tex]5x - 3 = 17\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\5x - 3 + 3 = 17 + 3\\\\5x = 20\\\\\frac{5x = 20}{5}\\\\\boxed{x = 4}[/tex]
The value of 'x' is 4.
======================================================
We then need to find the value of '2x' by replacing x with '4' and then evaluating.
[tex]2x; x= 4\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\2 \times 4\\\\\boxed{8}[/tex]
The value of '2x' is 8.
======================================================
Hope this helps!
