Question 514710
{{{2x-(3x-2)+5=17}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x-3x+2+5=17}}} Distribute.



{{{-x+7=17}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x=17-7}}} Subtract {{{7}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(10)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-10}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-10}}}
