When you say "work out", we get the uncomfortable feeling that maybe you're not
exactly sure of what you're looking for.
The "solution" to an equation like this is a number. It's the number that 'x' must be
in order to make the whole equation a true statement.
8x + 9 = 6x + 17
Subtract 9 from each side:
8x = 6x + 8
Subtract 6x from each side:
2x = 8
Divide each side by 2:
x = 4
8x-17=6x+112x=28x=14
8x-17=6x+15 8x=6x+32 (added 17 to each side) 2x=32 (subtracted 6x from each side) x=16 (divided each side by 2).
I assume you mean............ 6X + 17 = 0 subtract 17 from both sides 6X + 17 - 17 = - 17 6X = -17 divide both sides by 6 X = -17/6 check 6(-17/6) + 17 = 0 -102/6 + 17 = 0 -17 + 17 = 0 0 = 0 checks

8x-17=6x+112x=28x=14
7x + 9 = 6x + 17 7x - 6x = 17 -9 x = 8
-6x + 12y = -102 -6x = -12y - 102 x = 2y + 17
2x+17=6x-23 23+17=6x-2x 40=4x x=40 / 4 therefore x=10
8x-17=6x+15 8x=6x+32 (added 17 to each side) 2x=32 (subtracted 6x from each side) x=16 (divided each side by 2).
7+10+(-6x)=17-6x
I assume you mean............ 6X + 17 = 0 subtract 17 from both sides 6X + 17 - 17 = - 17 6X = -17 divide both sides by 6 X = -17/6 check 6(-17/6) + 17 = 0 -102/6 + 17 = 0 -17 + 17 = 0 0 = 0 checks

6x plus 3 equals 8x plus 14 when solved mathematically is equal to x = -5.5.
