4(x + 5) = x + 17

Solve

Distribute

4(x + 5) = x + 17

4x + 20 = x + 17

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation

4x + 20 = x + 17

4x + 20-20 = x + 17-20

3 Simplify

O Subtract the numbers

O Subtract the numbers

4x = x-3

Subtract x from both sides of the equation

4x = x-3

4x-x=x-3-X

Simplify

Combine like terms
