So first

4x+8-17=35
So make the equation equal 0
4x +8 -17 -35=0

Combine like terms

4x-44= 0

Add 44 to 0

4x =44

Divide by 4

X = 11

Good luck :D

Hey there!

If we're solving for "x" then follow these steps


Add
9 to each of your sides

Like:
4x - 9 + 9 \\ = 35 +9

That gives us:
4x = 44


Divide by the number
4 on each of your sides

Like:
(4x)/(4) = (44)/(4)

We cancel:
(4x)/(4) because fives us a
1

We keep:
(44)/(4) because it gives us a
11 (our answer)


Answer: x = 11

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day
