Twice means times 2.
5+2x=17
Subtract 5 from each side.
5+2x-5=17-5
2x=12
Divide 2 from each side.
x=6
I hope this helps;)
I find that fractions can be tricky, so I convert them to decimals before subtracting.
3 3/4 = 3.75
7/8 = 0.875
3.75 - 0.875 = 2.875
Knowing that 0.875 = 7/8, we now know that our answer is 2 7/8.
Hope this helps!
