Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides are congruent
5x - 17 = 3x + 7
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x - 17 = 7
Add 17 to both sides
2x = 24
Divide both sides by 2
X=0.8
First collect all the light terms '7' and '17' '-17+7=-10'
And '3x' and' 5x' '3x+5x=8x'
So if you put this as an equation you will have '8x=-10'
Next you do 8 divided -10
Then you get 0.8
