x=17/3

Answer 2

5.667

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 3*x-(17)=0

Solve : 3x-17 = 0

Add 17 to both sides of the equation : 3x = 17

Divide both sides of the equation by 3: x = 17/3 = 5.667

So, x = 17/3 = 5.667
