Answer :
Answer:
x = 3.75 or [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
17 = -13 - 8x
add 13 to both sides
17 + 13 = -13 + 13 + 8x
30 = 8x
divide both sides by 8
30/8 = 8x /8
3.75 = x
Add 13 on both sides to get the x and it’s coefficient together. Now it is 30 = -8x. Divide both sides by negative 8 and X is equal to 3.75.
