Solve 3+6(9x+4)=5+17x

$$3+6(9x+4)=5+17x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{22}{37}\approx -0.594594595$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 9x+4.

$$3+54x+24=5+17x$$

Add 3 and 24 to get 27.

$$27+54x=5+17x$$

Subtract 17x from both sides.

$$27+54x-17x=5$$

Combine 54x and -17x to get 37x.

$$27+37x=5$$

Subtract 27 from both sides.

$$37x=5-27$$

Subtract 27 from 5 to get -22.

$$37x=-22$$

Divide both sides by 37.

$$x=\frac{-22}{37}$$

Fraction \frac{-22}{37} can be rewritten as -\frac{22}{37} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{22}{37}$$
