Best Answer

When you say "work out", we get the uncomfortable feeling that maybe you're not

exactly sure of what you're looking for.

The "solution" to an equation like this is a number. It's the number that 'x' must be

in order to make the whole equation a true statement.

8x + 9 = 6x + 17

Subtract 9 from each side:

8x = 6x + 8

Subtract 6x from each side:

2x = 8

Divide each side by 2:

x = 4
