Answer:

x = -2

Explanation:

3x + 17 – 5x = 12 – (6x + 3)

simplify right side:

3x + 17 – 5x = 12 – 6x - 3

subtract 17 from both sides:

3x + 17 – 5x - 17 = 12 – 6x - 3 - 17

3x - 5x = -8 - 6x

add 6x to both sides:

3x - 5x + 6x = -8 - 6x + 6x

4x = -8

divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = -8/4

x = -2
