Subtract 2 from both sides. Now you have 1/5x=15. Now multiply by 5 on both sides. The answer is x=75

Hello!

Explanation:

First, subtract by 2 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x+2-2=17-2[/tex]

Then, simplify.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x=15[/tex]

Next, multiply by 5 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]5*\frac{1}{5}x=15*5[/tex]

Finally, simplify or multiply by the numbers.

[tex]15*5=75[/tex]

Answer: [tex]x=75[/tex]

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Hope this helps!
