Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-1/2(6x + 8) = 17

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute -1/2: -3x - 4 = 17
  2. Add 4 to both sides: -3x = 21
  3. Divide both sides by -3: x = -7

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

-1/2(6(-7) + 8) = 17

-1/2(-42 + 8) = 17

-1/2(-34) = 17

17 = 17
x=-7

First step-
 Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/2

second step-

Any expression divided by remains the same

third step-

Any expression multiplied by remains the same

fourth step-

When there is a in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

fifth step-
Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

sixth step-

Add the numbers

step seven-

Divide both sides of the equation by

you solution would be “x=-7”
