Simplify the given equation.

17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x

20x - 11 = 5x + 11
20x + 1 = 5x + 11
9x = 16x

Majority of the people on this site are asking questions from a online class. It's not going to matter to them, I know I should give the steps, but people aren't wanting that most of the time.

anonymous · Answer

I have spent alot of time with people who wanted to know how, not just the answer. If you feed them, they will only come for answers. if you don't they will come before a test or class.
