Question

one more : 17-(6x+3)=-6 can you explain the steps ? Thank you!

Answer 1

x=10/3
do you see how i did that, using the distributive property??

Answer 2

uh .. no what would be the first step?

Answer 3

17-6x-3 =-6
add 6x and 6 to both sides
17+6x-6x-3+6 = -6+6+6x
simplify
17-3+6 = 6x
20 = 6x
or 6x =20
divide all through by 6
x =20/6
x=10/3

Answer 4

is 10/3 = to 5 . becuase it says the answer should be 5 .
