The algebraic equation is 4(0.25)+2x=17
STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation
1+2x=17  or  2x+1
STEP 2: Subtract both sides
2x = 16
STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 16/2
x = 8

You can make this into a fraction, and then simplify it.
15/10, right?
15/10 = 3/2
Then compare 3/2 to the rest of the equation
3/2 = x/16
2 * 8 = 16
so
3 * 8 = x
x = 24
