Question

Solve : 1/5x + 2 =17

Answer 1

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract by 2 from both sides of an equation.

`(1)/(5)x+2-2=17-2`

Then, simplify.

`(1)/(5)x=15`

Next, multiply by 5 from both sides of an equation.

`5*(1)/(5)x=15*5`

Finally, simplify or multiply by the numbers.

`15*5=75`

Answer:
`x=75`

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Subtract 2 from both sides. Now you have 1/5x=15. Now multiply by 5 on both sides. The answer is x=75
