Given:
n( 17 +x) = 34z - r
Solve for the value of x.
Solution:
The first step is to distribute n to each value inside the parenthesis.
n(17 + x ) = 34z - r
17n + xn = 34z - r
Transpose 17 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
xn = 34z - r - 17n
Divide both sides by n in order to get the value of x.
x = (34z - r)/n - 17
Final answer:
x = (34z - r)/n - 17
