Hey there! :)
x/5 - 17 = 7
Once again, we are trying to isolate x. To do this, we must add 17 to both sides of the equation.
x/5 = 7 + 17
Simplify.
x/5 = 24
Now, since we need to fully isolate x, we have to get rid of the denominator. An easy way to do that is to multiply both sides by 5.
x/5 · 5 = 24 · 5
Simplify.
x = 120
So, 120 is our answer!
~Hope I helped!~
