Answer 1

Answer:

8x -1 =2x + 17

8x-2x = 17+1 (move the "x" to one side (you can either subtract 2x from both sides, or "move 2x from the right to left side. but remember when moving from one side to the other across the equal sign; you have to also switch from negative to positive sign or vise versa)

6x = 18

divide both sides by 6

x=18/6

x=3
