The answer is 14.

To solve this, only one step is required, which is : Subtract 17 from each side.

  • 17 + x - 17 = 31 - 17
  • x = 14

Answer:

x= 14

Explanation:

First (and only) we subtract 17 from both sides :

17 + x - 17 = 31 - 17

x = 31 - 17

x = 14

Hope this helped and have a good day
