Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\sf{x=19.25}}}[/tex]
Solution Steps:
______________________________
1.) Subtract 17 from both sides:
- [tex]17-17=[/tex] Cancels Out
- We do this to get 1 number left over at the end sum of the equation. To do this you do the opposite of what you see. In this case we have a positive 17, so you subtract 17 on each side.
2.) Divide both sides by 4:
- [tex]4x[/tex] ÷ [tex]4=x[/tex]
- [tex]77[/tex] ÷ [tex]4=19.25[/tex]
- We do this to get x alone. To do this you do the opposite of what you see. In this case we have [tex]4(x)[/tex] being multiplied, so you divide by 4 on each side.
So your answer is [tex]\bold{19.25}[/tex].
