Solve for X:
5−x8−3(x−2)=34
We will solve the equation 5−x8−3(x−2)=34 step by step.
First, clear the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5−x:
8−3(x−2)=34⋅(5−x)
Distribute the −3 on the left side:
8−3x+6=34(5−x)
Combine like terms on the left side:
14−3x=34(5−x)
Now, clear the fraction on the right side by multiplying through by 3:
3(14−3x)=4(5−x)
Distribute the values on both sides:
42−9x=20−4x
Rearrange the equation to isolate terms with x:
42−20=9x−4x
Simplify the equation:
22=5x
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
x=522
Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=522.
