Question

2x-8 is congruent to x+17 solve for x

Answer 1

equate the two and solve for x

2x - 8 = x + 17

Can u manage frm here???

Answer 2

2x - 8 = x + 17

so we need to get the variables all on one side and the numbers on the other so what we do is

2x - x = 17 + 8 (remember bringing it to the opposite side will change it to the opposite of what it is e.g. -8 to the other side will be +8)

so now we simplify this equation and we get this :

x = 25

dont forget to give me a medal or a good answer :D
