What is the measure of the angles below?* 8x-3 6.x + 17

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8x + -3 = 6x + 17

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 8x = 6x + 17

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 8x = 17 + 6x

Solving

-3 + 8x = 17 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 8x + -6x = 17 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 8x + -6x = 2x

-3 + 2x = 17 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

-3 + 2x = 17 + 0

-3 + 2x = 17

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 2x = 17 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 2x = 17 + 3

2x = 17 + 3

Combine like terms: 17 + 3 = 20

2x = 20

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
