Question

17 = 5-x what's the answer​

Answer 1

Answer: I worked it out on a piece of paper and attached it. The answer is X = -12

Explanation:

Answer 2

X = - 12.

Explanation:

17 = 5 - x

17 = 5 + - x

17 = - x + 5

Then, flip the equation.

-x + 5 = 17

Then subtract 5 from both of the sides.

-x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

-x = 12

Then divide

-x/ -1 = 12/1

x = - 12.

Hope this helps!
