Given:
The equation is
[tex]4(x-3)+5=17[/tex]
To find:
The solution of given equation.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]4(x-3)+5=17[/tex]
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]4(x)+4(-3)+5=17[/tex]
[tex]4x-12+5=17[/tex]
[tex]4x-7=17[/tex]
Adding 7 on both sides, we get
[tex]4x-7+7=17+7[/tex]
[tex]4x=24[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4.
[tex]x=\dfrac{24}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x is 6.
