Question

$$5 \times (x+1)=2+17$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{14}{5} = 2\frac{4}{5} = 2.8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $x+1$.

$$5x+5=2+17$$

Add $2$ and $17$ to get $19$.

$$5x+5=19$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$5x=19-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $19$ to get $14$.

$$5x=14$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{14}{5}$$
