I believe you meant to have... 4x + 17 = 5x + 6...
Move the 4x to the right by subtracting it from both sides which in result you get... 17 = x + 6
Then you want to subtract 6 from the right to the left so you get... 11 = x
OR If you meant 4 * 17 = 5x + 6 then what you do is multiply the left side which in turn gets... 68 = 5x + 6 Subtract six from the right to the left and you get... 63 = 5x Divide by 5 then you get.. x = 63/5 or you can also say x = 12.6
First u have to multiply 4 and 17 then subtract 6 from both sides resulting in 68=5x+6 -6 -6 62=5x Then in your final step u have to divide 5 from both sides to get x. And x equals 12.4
