Answer:

x = 14

     5

Step-by-Step Explanation:

5x + 3 = 17  

Subtract 3 from both sides:

5x + 3 - 3 =  17 - 3  

Simplify the arithmetic:

5x = 17 - 3  

Simplify the arithmetic:

5x = 14

Divide both sides by 5:

5x = 14

5       5

Simplify the fraction:  

x = 14

     5

Answer:

Value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]\frac{14}{5}[/tex]  .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : value of [tex]x[/tex] .

Given : the sum of [tex]5[/tex] times [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]3[/tex] is [tex]17[/tex] .​

• As per given data we know that , the sum of [tex]5[/tex] times [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]3[/tex] is [tex]17[/tex] .​
• According to given condition we write as , [tex]5x + 3 = 17[/tex] .
• Now , using transposition method , we find the value of [tex]x[/tex] , by transposing constants at RHS and leaving variable at LHS .
• After transposition , we perform arithmetic operation to find the value of [tex]x[/tex] .

        [tex]5x + 3 = 17\\\\5x = 17-3 \\\\5x = 14\\\\x = \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

Note :

Question for above solution should be : find the value of [tex]x[/tex] if the sum of [tex]5[/tex] times [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]3[/tex] is [tex]17[/tex] .​
