what is the answer to -17=x-15 in other words what is x?

- 17 = x - 15
x = - 17 + 15
x = - 2

Answer: x = - 2

Checking:
- 17 = - 2 - 15
- 17 = - 17

-17+15=x
-2=x

-2=x

-17 = x - 15
0 = x - 15 + 17
-x = 2
x = 2/(-1)
x = -2

Add 15 to both sides to get x = -2

Add 15 to both sides.
You get x = -2.

x = -2

I think it's -2... because +2 -15 = -13

- 17 = x - 15
+15 = +15

-2 = X

To confirm,

-17 = (-2) - 15 (does one side of the equation equal the other side?)
YES!

x=-2
