Use the general solution to solve 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

Hope this helps.

-6/7

Step-by-step explanation: 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

                                             5 + - 6x = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 - 8x = 8x + 17 - 8x

                                            -14x + 5 = 17

                                            -14x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

                                           -14x = 12

                                            -14x/-14 = 12/-14

                                             x = -6/7

1. is 4 and 2. is 3

step-by-step explanation:

so if you look at the first one you see that 1 is to 4 and 2 is to 8 and so on, so you can see for every 1 there is a times 4 so if it were 3 then it would be 3*4 and it is 12

for number 2 it is 3 because 1 is to 3 and 2 is to 6 so for every 1 there is 3 so if it were 3 then there would be 3*3 = 9
