Solve 17x+69=50x

$$17 x + 69 = 50 x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{23}{11} = 2\frac{1}{11} \approx 2.090909091$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 50x from both sides.

$$17x+69-50x=0$$

Combine 17x and -50x to get -33x.

$$-33x+69=0$$

Subtract 69 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-33x=-69$$

Divide both sides by -33.

$$x=\frac{-69}{-33}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-69}{-33} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.

$$x=\frac{23}{11}$$
