5 - 3x = 17 is not an inequality, it is an equation. Inequalities never have equal signs in them, only "less/greater than", and "less/greater than or equal to" signs.
To solve the equation:
Step 1: Add 3x to both sides: 5 = 17 + 3x
Step 2: Subtract 17 from both sides: -12 = 3x
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3: x = -4
The solution to the equation is x = -4

Solve for n 17 equals 4n - 3?
The answer is n = 5.
If apd equals 109 and 1 equals 17 then bpd equals?
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the variables. If "apd" equals 109 and "1" equals 17, we can deduce that the value of "a" is 10 and the value of "b" is 1. Therefore, if we substitute these values into the equation "bpd," we get 1 * 10 * 17, which equals 170. So, "bpd" equals 170.
Solve for Y Y2 equals 289?
The answer is 17 because 17*17=289 I start very close to it then do multiplication. 15^2=225 16^2 =256 17^2=289
Solve for x -6x plus 12y equals -102?
-6x + 12y = -102 -6x = -12y - 102 x = 2y + 17
