Solve for x.
17b + bx = 34x – a

Answer 1

Shoot I don't know but this is as far as I got until I got confused.

Explanation:

17b + bx = 24x - a

-17b = - 17b

-24x = -24x

------------------------------

-24x + bx = -17b - a

-24x + bx/b = -17b/b - a/b

-24x + x = -17b - a/b

-23x = -17b - a/b

-23x/-23 = -17b/-23 - a/b/-23

x =

Answer 2
