Answer:
x=+7
Step-by-step explanation:
We move all terms to the left:
x+17-(2(5x-23))=0
We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2(5x-23)), so:
2(5x-23)
We multiply parentheses
10x-46
Back to the equation:
-(10x-46)
We get rid of parentheses
x-10x+46+17=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-9x+63=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-9x=-63
x=-63/-9
x=+7
