Type your answer into the space provided and press Enter to sub If 2x-5=17, what is the value of x+3?

Answer 1

14

Step-by-step explanation: We're asked to solve the equation.

Given eqn:

`\sf{2x-5=17}`

Add 5 to both sides

`\sf{2x=17+5}`

`\sf{2x=22}`

Divide both sides by 2

`\sf{x=11}`

Now substitute 11 into x + 3

`\sf{11+3=14}`

Therefore, the answer is 14

Answer 2

17-5=12
Since there is 2 x, 12/2=6
So 6 is x.
6+3=9!
