x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
8 - 3x = 17
You have to switch the 8 to the other side. To do this, you would have to move it after the 17 and add a minus to it, making it a - 8 (this is because when a number is switched to the other side of the '=' sign, the number gets 'mirrored' aka positive numbers become negative and negative numbers become positive).
3x = 17 - 8
3x = 9
Now you have to do the same thing you did with 8 but instead you have to do it with 3. Since 3 has an invisble 'times sign' by it, the number after the equals will be divided by 3 in this case so ...
x = 9 : 3
x = 3

Answer: - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
8-3x=17
-8 on both side to cancel it out
-3x=9
divide - 3 on both sides
which would equal to - 3
To check
8-3 (-3) = 17
8+9=17
