Find the value of x. 2 (x-3) - 17=13-3 (x+2)

Expanding, we have:

2x-23=7-3x

Adding 3x+23 to both sides, we have:

5x=30

Dividing by 5, therefore, x=6.

Solve your equation step-by-step.

2 (x-3) - 17=13-3 (x+2)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2 (x-3) - 17=13-3 (x+2)

Simplify

2x-23=-3x+7

Add 3x to both sides.

2x-23+3x=-3x+7+3x

5x-23=7

Add 23 to both sides.

5x-23+23=7+23

5x=30

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = 30/5

x=6
