Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 10x + 5 = 5x + 17 (collect like terms)

-7x + 5 = 5x + 17 (subtract 5x on both sides)

-12x + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 on each side)

-12x = 12 ( divide by -12 on each side)

x = -1

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x - 10x + 5 = 5x + 17[/tex]

Add the like terms.

[tex] - 7x + 5 = 5x + 17[/tex]

Add 7x to both sides.

[tex]5 = 12x + 17[/tex]

Subtract 17 from both sides.

[tex] - 12 = 12x[/tex]

[tex] - \frac{12}{12} = x[/tex]

[tex] - 1 = x[/tex]
