B

anonymous · Answer

Okay first we need to simplify your original equation:

9x + 26 + 7x - 17 = 2x + (-3x) + 5x
16x + 9 = 4x

That looks familiar.

anonymous · Answer

Basically just simplify your terms by combining like terms (like 2x & 4x are like terms, because both are [some constant] x [some variable]

anonymous · Answer

And the variable is the same, x
