X = 14

Step by step explanation:

3x - 25 = 17 step 1: add 25 to both sides

3x = 42 step 2 divide both sides by 3

x = 14

Answer:

The answer is 14 because

3x - 25 = 17

You want to get the 25 over to the 17 side so you add 25 to the 17

3x = 42

Then you divide 42 by 3 to get x alone

42/3 = 14

Therefore:

x = 14
