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

Answer:
can you click a full photo of this question.
You would add up the percentages first, which would bring everything up to 35%. You would then take the original cost of the item, which is $30 and multiple it by the 35%.
The equation would look like...
30 x .35 =
This will give you $10.50, which isn't the final answer.
You would then subtract 10.50 from the $30 that was asked for at the beginning by the retailer.
Your final answer is $19.50. :) Which isn't a bad deal if I say so myself.
