Solve 8 (1/4*+3/4) - 3=17

8 (1/4x + 3/4) - 3 = 17

First distribute which results in (8/4x + 24/4) - 3 = 17.

Now just simply simplify it into (2x+6) - 3 = 17

Then you combine like term : 2x+3 = 17

Subtract 3 on both sides : 2x=14

Finally divide 2 on both sides to isolate x: x=7

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8 (1/4x+3/4) - 3=17

Add 3 to each side

8 (1/4x+3/4) - 3+3=17+3

8 (1/4x+3/4) = 20

Distribute the 8

2x + 6 = 20

Subtract 6 from each side

2x+6-6 = 20-6

2x=14

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 14/2

x=7
