For this case we have the following expression:


17x-32x

We must find an equivalent expression.

For this, we observe that the variable x is a common factor of both terms.

Therefore, by rewriting the expression we have:


17x-32x = x (17-32)

Answer:

An expression that is equivalent to the given expression is:


x (17-32)

Option C
