\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

let's evaluate the value of x ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (3)/(5) x + 10 = 17


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (3)/(5) x = 17 - 10


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: (3)/(5) x = 7


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x = 7 \cdot(5)/(3)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x = (35)/(3)

or


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:x \approx11.66
