​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

17(x + 4) + 8(x + 6) = 11(x + 5) + 15(x + 3)

Multiply the brackets with the numbers outside the brackets

➾ 17x + 68 + 8x + 48 = 11x + 55 + 15x + 45

Add the like terms

➾ 25x + 116 = 26x + 100

Shift the like terms

➾ 116 - 100 = 26x - 25x

Subtract

➾ x = 16

∴ The value of x is 16

Answer 2

17x + 68 + 8x + 48 = 11x + 55 + 15× + 45

25x + 116 = 26x + 100

116 - 100 = 26x - 25x

16 = 1x

x = 16
