Question

17x-10=12xsolve for x.

Answer 1

`17x-10=12x`

we perform the same operation on each side to place the x's on the same side

`\begin{gathered} 17x-17x-10=12x-17x \\ 0x-10=(12-17)x \\ -10=-5x \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (-10)/(-5)=(-5x)/(-5) \\ 2=x \end{gathered}`

the value of x is 2
