Answer:
x = [tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex] ≈ -1.66666667
Step-by-step explanation:
17 = -13 - 18x
+13 both sides
17 + 13 = -13 - 18x + 13
Simplify. -13 and + 13 cancel each other out.
30 = -18x
÷(-18) both sides
30 ÷ (-18) = -18x ÷ (-18)
Simplify.
[tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex] = x
x = [tex]-\frac{5}{3}[/tex] ≈ -1.66666667
