1 answer

4(x + 2) - 17 = 35

To solve this equation, we will first expand the brackets:

4x + 8 - 17 = 35

Now, let's simplify:

4x - 9 = 35

Next, let's isolate the variable by adding 9 to both sides:

4x = 44

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 4:

x = 11

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 11.
The correct option is D. 11.
