Answer 2

add 11 to both sides so

17 - 2x = -11
+ 11 +11
---------------

17 + 11 - 2x = 0

Simplify that

Answer 3

by simplify I mean add the 17+11 and tell me what you get xD

Answer 4

replace the variable (the letter) into parenthesis in your case x so pretty much just do what I do below:
17-2(-14)=45 and its not the correct answer
17-2(-3)=23 nope!
17-2(3)=11 close but no...
17-2(14)=-11 yayyy D is your answer
