First, distribute 2 to the (x+3) to get:
21 = 2x+6
subtract 6 from both sides to get:
15 = 2x
Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to simplify x to:
x = 7.5 (OR) x =

Answer:
so u see
Step-by-step explanation:
8(1/4x + 3/4) -3 =17
First distribute which results in (8/4x + 24/4)-3 =17.
Now just simply simplify it into (2x+6)-3 =17
Then you combine like term : 2x+3 =17
Subtract 3 on both sides : 2x=14
Finally divide 2 on both sides to isolate x: x=7
