Question

11(x+1)-5x+22=17x-2(x+1) multistep

Answer 1

11(x + 1) - 5x + 22 = 17x - 2(x + 1)    Given
11x + 11 - 5x + 22 = 17x - 2x - 2        Distribute the 11 and the -2
6x + 33 = 16x - 2                               Combine like terms
-10x + 33 = - 2                                   Subtract 16x from both sides
-10x = -35                                          Subtract 33 from both sides
x = 3.5                                                Divide both sides by -10

The answer:
x = 3.5

Hope this helps.
