Answer:
x = 25
Explanation:
Equation:-3x - 8 + 4x=17
When you see two numbers with x, you want to either subtract or add both of those numbers, whether its adding or subtracting. For this equation the number 3x has a negative symbol so we will be subtracting
-3x + 4x= 1
1 = x
x - 8 = 17
add 8 on both sides
x -8 + 8 = 17 + 8
-8 +8= 0
17+8= 25
x=25
