Answer:

c. x=12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation Solving

Given the equation

2(x - 4) = 17

Solving for x implies doing several operations needed to have x isolated in the left part of the equation.

Dividing by 2:

x - 4 = 17/2

x - 4 = 8.5

Now we add 4:

x = 8.5 + 4

x = 12.5

Answer:  c. x=12.5
