Answer:
Get all the terms with x on the left. Get all the terms without x on the right. Simplify by adding and subtracting the terms without x and adding and subtracting the terms with x. Finally divide to get the value of x.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+6 =- 5+3x+17
6x+6 -6 =- 5+3x+17 -6
6x = 5+3x+11
6x = 3x + 16
6x - 3x = 3x + 16 -3x
3x = 16
3x / 3 = 16 / 3
x = 15/3 + 1/3
x = 5 1/3
x = 5.33333...
