4.25 or 4 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x= 17

x is the unknown or variable. Make x the subject. Carry over the 4 to the 17.

x= 17÷4 = 4.25 or 4 1/4

To find out if the answer was correct, replace the variable which is x with the value it is in brackets. If we get back the answer on the RHS or the right hand side, then the answer for x is correct.

4(4.25)=?

4*4.25= 17

Therefore the answer is correct!!
