Question

what is the solution set for the open sentence with the given replacement set? 17 – x = 9, {5, 6, 7, 8} a. 5 b. 6 c. 7 d. 8

Answer 1

17-x=9
-x=9-17
x is 8

Answer 2

Correct option is:

d. 8

Explanation:

We have to find the solution of the equation:

17-x = 9

Now, we start solving it

Taking the term of x on one side and constant terms on the other, we get

x = 17-9

i.e. x = 8

Hence, the solution set of 17-x = 9 is:

d. 8
