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
