Answer 1

Answer:

x = -43/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

`(17-4x)/(12)=5`

To find:

the value of x

`\begin{gathered} (17-4x)/(12)=5 \\ multiply\text{ both sides by 12:} \\ 17\text{ - 4x = 5\lparen12\rparen} \\ 17\text{ - 4x = 60} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} add\text{ 4x to both sides:} \\ 17\text{ -4x + 14x = 60 + 4x} \\ 17\text{ = 60 + 4x} \\ \\ subtract\text{ 60 from both sides:} \\ 17\text{ - 60 = 4x} \\ -43\text{ = 4x} \\ \\ divide\text{ boh sides by 4:} \\ x\text{ = -43/4} \end{gathered}`
