Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

First set up the problem like this:

14x-17 = 8x + 1

Now we subtract 14x from each side. This leaves us with:

-17 = 6x+1

Now we need subtract 1 from each side, leaving us with:

-18 = -6x

And now we divide each side by 6x, leaving us with.

3 = x.

And if you insert three into both of the equations, it will result in 25.

(Hope this helped!)
