The quotient of 17 less than four times a number and seven is the same as three times the number?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]x=-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation they are giving is:

[tex]\frac{4x-17}{7} =3x[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 7 to get:

[tex]4x-17=21x[/tex]

Subtract 4x from both sides to reach:

[tex]-17=17x[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]x=-1[/tex].

Hope this helps :)
