4x + 3 = 17
Subtract 3 from each side
4x = 14
Divide both sides by 4
x = 14/4
Reduce
x = 7/2

I'll try. I haven't done this in a while. Multiply the 4 and the x and you get 4x+3=17 then subtract 3 from both sides(the threes cancel out, subtract 3 from 17) Then you get 4x=14/4. I THINK the answer is x=14/4. I'm probably wrong. It's been like since 8th grade since I done this stuff!

4x+3=17 subtract 3 from each side
4x=14 divide by 4
x=3.5 or 7/2

Solution: 4x+3=17
move 3 to the other side and make it a negative number
4x=17-3
4x=14
x=14/4 or 7/2
then divide, if you want to simplify it more 3.5
3.5 is the final answer
to check:
4 (3.5) +3=17
14+3=17
17=17

4x+3=17
subtract 3 from 17 and 3
4x=14
then divide 4 from both sides
x=7/2 or 3.5

4x + 3 = 17
4x + 3- 3 = 17 - 3
4x = 14
4x/4 = 14 /4
x = 14 / 4
x = 3 2/4
x = 3 1/2
x = 3.5
The answer is s = 3.5
Insert the x value into the equation
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Check
4x + 3 + 17
4(3.5) + 3 = 17
14 + 3 = 17
17 = 17
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The solution set is { 3.5 }
- - - - -s-

4x+3=17. First, divide both sides by 4 and u end up with x+3=17/4. then minus 3. so x = 17/4 - 3/1. which equals 5/4 which is.........1 1/4 or 1.25
SOOOO.. the answer is x=1.25

4x+3=17
4x+3-3=17-3 subtract 3 on both sides
4x = 14
4x/4 = 14/4 now, divide 4 on both sides
x = 14/4 or 3.5 and you should get this for a final ans.

4x+3=17 is easy.
4x+3=17
4x=14
x=14/4 or 7/2 or 3 and 1/2 or 3.5
