Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

2/3x + 15 = 17

subtract 15 from both sides: 2/3x = 2

divide 2/3 from both sides to get x alone: x = 3

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

The main purpose when solving an equation is to find the x value. Then you must leave this factor alone by moving the numbers which are with him to the other side. In this process, the numbers will change the operation they were performing in their first position: if they were multiplying, they will divide and vice versa; if they were adding, they will substract and vice versa

2/3 x + 15 = 17

2/3 x = 17 -15

2/3 x = 2

2x = 2 . 3

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x= 3
