Answer
x = 35
Check explanation for the che
Step-by-step explanation
We are asked to solve for x and check afterwards.
1.7x - 15 = 1.5x - 8
1.7x - 1.5x = 15 - 8
0.2x = 7
Divide both sides by 0.2
(0.2x/0.2) = (7/0.2)
x = 35
We can then check afterwards by inserting 35 for x in the given equation.
1.7x - 15 = 1.5x - 8
1.7 (35) - 15 = 1.5 (35) - 8
59.5 - 15 = 52.5 - 8
44.5 = 44.5
This checks out and proves that our answer is correct!
Hope this Helps!!!
