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
