Me quickly ! simplify the given equation. 17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x 20x - 11 = 5x + 11 20x + 1 = 5x + 11 9x = 16x

1  7/15

We need to figure out how we got that answer...

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

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

20x-11=x+11+4x

20x-11=5x+11

Make sure to subtract 5x

20x-11-5x=11

15x-11=11

Make sure to add 11

15x=11+11

15x=22

Make sure to divide by 15

x= 22/15

x= 1   7/15

Hope this helps...
