17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x

The first thing to do is to get all the xs on the same side.

17x + 3x - x - 4x = 11 + 5 + 6

15x = 22

x = 22/15

The answer is x = 22/15

22 - 15 = 7

If this needs to be simplified, the answer is x = 1 7/15

x=22/15

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Subtract 5x from both sides.

Add 11 to both sides.

Divide both sides by 15.
