Answer:

Simplified: 6x-21=6x+17

Solved: No solution

Explanation:

You are solving for "x" or simplify

1. Distribute

3*2x=6x 3*-7=-21

6x-21=5x+17+x

2. Combine like terms

5x+x=6x

6x-21=6x+17

*Side note: The answer above is the simplified version or you can solve completly*

3. Move "x" to the left

6x-6x=0x

-21=17

4. Decide if the equation makes a solution or not

-21 and 17 are not equal so it would be "No solution"

Hope this helped!
