What should be done to solve the equation?

x-17=11

Add 17 to both sides.

Add 17 to the left side and subtract 11 from the right side.

Add 17 to the left side and subtract 17 from the right side.

Add 11 to both sides.

You'll want to add 17 to both sides to get x by itself

When solving these equations in order to isolate the variable you would perform the inverse operation of the given operation. Since 17 is subtracted from x the inverse of subtraction is addition so you would add 17 to both sides.

x-17+17=11+17 which gives x-0 = 11+17 so x = 28
