- You are correct.
- 17 + 5(2x - 9) = (-6x + 10) + 4
- => 17 + 10x -45 = -6x + 10 + 4
- => -28 + 10x = -6x + 14
- => 6x + 10x = 28 + 14
- => 16x = 42
- => x = 42/16
- => x = 21/8
<u>Check:</u>
- 17 + 5(2{21/8} - 9) = (-6{21/8} + 10) + 4
- => 17 + 5(42/8 - 9) = -15.75 + 10 + 4
- => 17 + 5(-3.75) = -1.75
- => 17 - 18.75 = -1.75
- => -1.75 = -1.75
Therefore, I think you are correct.
