Given equation : n(17+x)=34x−r.
We need to solve it for x.
Distributing n over (17+x) on left side, we get
17n + nx = 34x - r.
Adding r on both sides, we get
17n+r + nx = 34x - r+r.
17n + r + nx = 34x.
Subtracting nx from both sides, we get
17n + r + nx-nx = 34x-nx
17n + r = 34x -nx.
Factoring out gcf x on right side, we get
17x + r = x(34-n).
Dividing both sides by (34-n), we get
