Question

Here is a diagram and its corresponding equation. Find the solution to the equation andexplain your reasoning.23XXXХ174x + 17 = 23

Answer 1

x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation

4x + 17 = 23

Step 1: Collect the like terms

4x = 23 - 17

4x = 6

Isolate x by dividing both sides by 4

4x/4 = 6/4

x = 6/4

x = 3/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is 3/2
