a) -2x - (x-17) = 34-(-x + 25)
-2x- x+17= 34+x-25
-2x-x-x= -17 +34-25
-4x = -8
x = 2
b)17x-(-16x-27) = 2x+43
17x + 16x + 27 = 2x + 43
17x + 16x -2x= -27 +43
31x= 26
x= 21/31
c)- 2x- 3(x-17) = 34- 2(-x + 25)
-2x - 3x + 51 = 34 + 2x -50
-2x - 3x -2x = -51 + 34 -50
-7x = -67
x = 67/7
d) 17x +3(-16x-37) = 2x+ 43 -4x
17x -48x -111 = 2x + 43 -4x
17x - 48x -2x + 4x = 111 -43
-29x = 68
x = -68/29
