Step-by-step explanation:

1.Solve for x. 2x+5=17 (x=6)

2.Solve for x. 2(x+9)=24 (x=3)

3.Solve for x. 25=4+7x (x=3)

4.Solve for x. x/3-6=4  (x=30)

5.Solve for x 4x+8=20 (x=3)

hope this helps

1. 2x + 5 = 17

Subtract both sides of the equation by 5 to get 2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2 to get x=6

2. 2 (x+9)= 24

Distribute 2 to x and 9 by multiplying to get

2x + 18 = 24

Subtract 18 from both sides to get 2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2

x=3

3. 25= 4 + 7x

Rearrange the equation to get 7x+4=25

Subtract 4 from both sides 7x=21

Divide both sides by 7 to get

x=3

4. x/3 - 6=4

Add 6 to both sides of the equation to get x/3=10

Multiply both sides by 3 to get

x= 30

5. 4x+8=20

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to get 4x=12

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x=3

Explanation: to solve 2-step variable equations, isolate the variable and do the opposite operation to balance it out

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)
