Question

17-5(2×-9)=-(-6×+10)+4




Please help me with this problem

Answer 1

x = 17/4 = 4.25

Explanation:

We assume your multiplication symbol (×) is intended to be a variable (x).

Simplifying, we have ...

17 -10x +45 = 6x -10 +4

68 = 16x

68/16 = x = 17/4 = 4.25

Check

17 -5(2(4.25) -9) = -(-6(4.25) +10) +4

17 -5(8.50 -9) = -(-25.5 +10) +4

17 -5(-0.5) = 15.5 +4

17 +2.5 = 19.5 . . . . . . true
