Simplify the given equation.
17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x
A)20x - 11 = 5x + 11
B)20x + 1 = 5x + 11
C)9x = 16x
too tell you the turth i have no idea i just got put in this new home schooled so do you mind making a other example an explaining that one to me please if you woulnd not mind
ok thanks i guess
To simplify the given equation, we need to combine like terms on both sides of the equation.
Starting with the left side of the equation:
17x - 6 + 3x - 5
Combining like terms, we have:
(17x + 3x) - (6 + 5)
20x - 11
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation:
x + 11 + 4x
Combining like terms, we have:
(x + 4x) + 11
5x + 11
Putting the simplified left and right sides together, we have the simplified equation:
20x - 11 = 5x + 11
Therefore, the simplified equation is 20x - 11 = 5x + 11.
So, the answer is option A) 20x - 11 = 5x + 11.
Certainly the materials for your home schooling program shows how to do this.
If not, you can get a different program or study this site.
