To solve the equation 4(x + 2) - 17 = 35, we can follow these steps:
1. Distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
4x + 8 - 17 = 35
2. Simplify:
4x - 9 = 35
3. Add 9 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
4x - 9 + 9 = 35 + 9
4x = 44
4. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = 44/4
x = 11
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 11.
