1) 2x + 17 = 22 + 3xSubtract 2x from both sides:17 = 22 + xSubtract 22 from both sides:-5 = x
2) 18 + 3x = x + 14Subtract x from both sides:18 + 2x = 14Subtract 18 from both sides:2x = -4Divide by 2 on both sides:x = -2
1) 2x + 17 = 22 + 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides:
17 = 22 + x
Subtract 22 from both sides:
-5 = x
2) 18 + 3x = x + 14
Subtract x from both sides:
18 + 2x = 14
Subtract 18 from both sides:
2x = -4
Divide by 2 on both sides:
x = -2
