Answer:so that’s a interior triangle so the mean your 2 points in the inside and the equation on the outside.

X=6

Explanation:

(8x-4)+(3x+17)=(17x-23)

Combined our alike terms on the left side of the equation. So 8x+3x and -4+17.

11x+13=17x-23

Now this is what the equation should look like after combining ur alike terms.

11x+13=17x-23

-11x. -11x.

now u take the lowest x which is 11x and mince that from 17x but u only mince if it’s a positive but is it’s a negative u add it.

13=6x-23 so if u moved the x on the right side u move non variable number to the left but if u moved the x to the left u move the non variable number to the right so in this case the non variable number would be -23 so now u add 23 on both sides.

36=6x and now u just divide the 36 by 6 and remember to always divide by the x

Now the answer is x=6
