To solve for x in the equation 5x - 8 = 17, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x. This gives us: 5x - 8 + 8 = 17 + 8 Simplifying the left-hand side, we get: 5x = 25 Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5: 5x/5 = 25/5 x = 5 Therefore, tRead more
To solve for x in the equation 5x – 8 = 17, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x.
This gives us:
5x – 8 + 8 = 17 + 8
Simplifying the left-hand side, we get:
5x = 25
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
Therefore, the value of x in the equation 5x – 8 = 17 is 5.
