Answer:
x = 7 and x = [tex]\frac{21}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
(3)
[tex]\frac{x+3}{2}[/tex] = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
x + 3 = 10 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = 7
-----------------------------------------------------------
(4)
17 + 5(2x - 9) = - 6x + 10 + 4 ← distribute parenthesis on left side and simplify
17 + 10x - 45 = - 6x + 14
10x - 28 = - 6x + 14 ( add 6x to both sides )
16x - 28 = 14 ( add 28 to both sides )
16x = 42 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = [tex]\frac{42}{16}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{21}{8}[/tex]
