Question

5 + kx = 17Solve for x

Answer 1

5+kx=17

kx=17-5

kx=12

x= 12/k

Answer 2

1) To solve for x, is to leave the x on the left side the other variables on the right along with the constants, like this

`\begin{gathered} 5\text{ +kx =17} \\ kx\text{ =17-5} \\ x=(17-5)/(k) \end{gathered}`

Note that, we subtracted 5 and then divided by x.
