Question 781047: Trying to help my daughter with her homework and I don't know how to solve for x. The problem is 17x + 56 = -12 Can anyone help me figure this out step by step? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 17x + 56 = -12
17x=-68 subtract 56 from each side of the equation.
x=-4 divide -68 by 17. The answer is pronounced "negative four" not "minus four"
