Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the 3x by itself on the left. To do this, we subtract 5 from both sides. 3x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5; 3x = 12. Now, to find x, we divide both sides by 3 to get 3x/3=12/3; x = 4

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{4}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \mathsf{3x + 5 = 17}[/tex]

Move constant to R.H.S and change it's sign

⇒[tex] \mathsf{3x = 17 - 5}[/tex]

Subtract 5 from 17

⇒[tex] \mathsf{3x = 12}[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

⇒[tex] \mathsf{ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{12}{3} }[/tex]

Calculate

⇒[tex] \mathsf{x = 4}[/tex]

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
