Answer:
Simplifying
8x + 17 = 137
Reorder the terms:
17 + 8x = 137
Solving
17 + 8x = 137
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-17' to each side of the equation.
17 + -17 + 8x = 137 + -17
Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0
0 + 8x = 137 + -17
8x = 137 + -17
Combine like terms: 137 + -17 = 120
8x = 120
Divide each side by '8'.
x = 15
Simplifying
x = 15
