Question

$$x + 7 - \frac { 8 x } { 3 } = \frac { 17 } { 6 } - \frac { 5 x } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$x=-5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $6$, the least common multiple of $3,6,2$.

$$6x+42-2\times 8x=17-3\times 5x$$

Multiply $-2$ and $8$ to get $-16$.

$$6x+42-16x=17-3\times 5x$$

Combine $6x$ and $-16x$ to get $-10x$.

$$-10x+42=17-3\times 5x$$

Multiply $-3$ and $5$ to get $-15$.

$$-10x+42=17-15x$$

Add $15x$ to both sides.

$$-10x+42+15x=17$$

Combine $-10x$ and $15x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x+42=17$$

Subtract $42$ from both sides.

$$5x=17-42$$

Subtract $42$ from $17$ to get $-25$.

$$5x=-25$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{-25}{5}$$

Divide $-25$ by $5$ to get $-5$.

$$x=-5$$
