17 = -13 - 8x .....add 13 to both sides
13 + 17 = -8x
30 = -8x...now divide both sides by -8
-30/8 = x...reduce
- 15/4 or -3 3/4 = x <===

Bring all the like terms together.

8x is one term without any other term with x in it.
17 and 13 are terms which are similar because they are real

17+13=-8x
30=-8x
30/-8=x
-3.75=x

Hope I helped :)

You have two vectors: $\vec{a}=(2,-1)$ and $\vec{b}=(3,3).$

In order to find the sum $\vec{a}+\vec{b}$ of vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ , you should add corresponding coordinates:

$\vec{a}+\vec{b}=(2,-1)+(3,3)=(2+3,-1+3)=(5,2).$

Answer: correct choice is C.

It should be D: 35. 14 + 6 = 20. I just multiplied that by two, which equals 40. That means there are 2 sets of 14 and 2 sets of 6. Since there is 10 leftover, I divided both by 2. 7 + 3 = 10. 14 x 2 = 28 + 7 = 35
