Which of the following is the solution of - 6x - 17 = 19? x = - 8 x = - 6 x = 6 x = 12

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you wanted, you could plug each value into the equation, but the more efficient method would be to isolate x:

-6x - 17 = 19 add 17 to each side

-6x = 36 divide each side by - 6

x = - 6

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. - 6x-17=19

2. - 6x=19+17

3. - 6x = 36

4. x = 36/-6

5. x = - 6
