Answer 3

To solve your equation, keep in mind that what you do on one side of (=), you have to do on the other.

Answer 4

You want to "isolate" x and have x alone on one side.

Answer 5

In this case, you add 4 to both sides first. That gives you:
6x = 17 + 4

Can you take it from here? Hint: Next step, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.

Answer 6

6x=17+4

6x=21

x=21/6

x=3.5

hence the value of x is 3.5
