Answer:
x=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x in this systems of equations, we already have two values which equal y so half the work is finished for us.
Starting with the equation:
[tex]x+12=17-x[/tex]
Add x to both sides to remove the negative x on the right side of the equation:
[tex]2x+12=17[/tex]
Subtract 12 from both sides to remove the 12 on the left side of the equation:
[tex]2x=5[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the x coefficient
[tex]x=2.5[/tex]
