Answer 1

x = -
`(17n+r)/(n-34)`

Explanation:

We have to solve the equation for the value of x.

n(17 + x) = 34x - r

17n + nx = 34x - r [By Distributive property ]

17n + nx - 17n = 34x - r - 17n [subtracting 17n from both the sides of the equation]

nx = 34x - r - 17n

nx - 34x = 34x - r - 17n - 34x [Subtracting 34x from both the sides of the equation]

x(n - 34) = -(r + 17n) [Division by (n - 34) on both the sides of the equation]

x = -
`((17n+r)/(n-34))`
