(Sorry for my sloppy work but I used these steps to solve it)
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:
b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms
-13 +3b = -5-b
Add b to each side
-13+3b+b = -5-b+b
-13+4b = -5
Add 13 to each side
-13+13 +4b = -5+13
4b = 8
Divide by 4
4b/4 = 8/4
b = 2
