Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Find x
Try to get x by itself
2x + 5 = 17
subtract 5 on both sides
2×+5(-5)=17(-5)
by subtracting 5 from its opposite, it turns to 0
now we are left with
2x=12
Next we need to divide
2x is like 2(x) which is multiplication
the inverse is division
when we divide, whatever u do to one side u do to the other
2x/2=12/2
×=12/2
we finally got x by itself
we can break 12/2 even further by dividing and you'd get
×= 6
