Formula:
x + 2(x+1) = 17
x + 2x + 2 = 17
3x + 2 = 17
3x = 15
x = 5
So, the answer is 5 and 6
Hope this helped!

I think b may not be right
let's bear in mind that
standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
so, let's do away with the denominators by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all fractions, in this case 6.
