Question

Multi step equations 4x+6+3=17

Answer 1

First, you add like terms.  In this case, the like terms are 6 and 3.

4x + 6 + 3 = 17
4x + 9 = 17

Then, subtract 9 on each side:

4x + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9
4x = 8

Then divide by 4 on each side to get the x by itself:

4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2

Answer 2

4x+6+3 = 17

4x+9 =17

4x = 8

4x/4 = 8/4

x = 2.

Hope this helps
