Question 577601
{{{2x+17=8x+19}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x=8x+19-17}}} Subtract {{{17}}} from both sides.



{{{2x-8x=19-17}}} Subtract {{{8x}}} from both sides.



{{{-6x=19-17}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-6x=2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(2)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1/3}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-1/3}}}
