Answer:

Answer is x=11

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−8)+11=17

(2)(x)+(2)(−8)+11=17(Distribute)

2x+−16+11=17

(2x)+(−16+11)=17(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−5=17

2x−5=17

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides.

2x−5+5=17+5

2x=22

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=22/2

x=11
