Answer 2

`\boxed{x \approx1.4}`

OR

`\boxed{\tt x \approx \cfrac{23}{17}}`

Explanation:

`\bf \: Given \: equation :`

`17x = 23`

Make x the subject means we need to find the value of x.

`\bf \: Solution:`

`\tt \implies \: 17x = 23`

Divide each side by 17 :

`\tt \implies \cfrac{17x}{17} = \cfrac{23}{17}`

`\rm \: Firstly, cancel \: the \: LHS :`

• Cancel 17 ( which is on the numerator ) and cancel 17 ( which is on the denominator ) :-

`\tt \implies \cfrac{ \cancel{17}x}{ \cancel{17}} = \cfrac{23}{17}`

• Results to,

`\tt \implies \: \cfrac{1x}{1} = \cfrac{23}{17}`

`\tt \implies1x = \cfrac{23}{17}`

`\tt \implies{x} = \cfrac{23}{17}`

`\rm \: 23\; and \; 17 \: can't \: be \: cancelled .`

But, We can convert 23/17 into decimal form.

That is,

`\tt \implies \: x = 23 / 17`

`\tt \implies{x} = 1.352`

`\tt \implies{x} \approx1.4`

Hence, the value of x would be 23/17 or 1.4 .

`\rule{225pt}{2pt}`

I hope this helps!
