Hey there!
[tex]\large\boxed{x=-40}[/tex]
We need to isolate x.
So, we want to add 17 to each side to cancel out the -17 on the left side.
x - 17 + 17 = -57 + 17
Simplify.
x = -40
Hope this helps!
Answer:
[tex]★\:{\green{\underline{\red{\boxed{\purple{x - 17 = - 57}}}}}}\:★[/tex]
Here, we have to separate the like terms i.e., separate the value which contains x term in one side and the constant term on the other side of the equal to sign, and then substract to find the value of x;
Therefore,
[tex]x = 17 - 57 \\ \boxed{x = - 40}✓[/tex]
Hence, the value of x comes out to be -40.
