Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up the problem like this:
14x-17 = 8x + 1
Now we subtract 14x from each side. This leaves us with:
-17 = 6x+1
Now we need subtract 1 from each side, leaving us with:
-18 = -6x
And now we divide each side by 6x, leaving us with.
3 = x.
And if you insert three into both of the equations, it will result in 25.
