Question

Solve for x: 92 - 17x = -24

The answer is -4 but I don’t know how to get it. Please show work because I need to understand it

Answer 1

Answer: x=-4

Explanation:

i'm assuming that you meant 92-17x=24 instead of -24 because that gives the answer -4

the goal of these equations is to get all the x variables on one side and all of the constants on the other side.

92-17x=-24

92-17x -92 =24 -92

-17x=-68

divide both sides by -17

x = -4
