C 9/10
D 17/18

Answer:
[tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2(5x+4)=17,\\10x+8=17,\\10x=9,\\x=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]
Analysis:
2(5x+4)=17
10x+8=17,
10x=9
x=9/10 (ans)
Answer:
x = 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
2(5x + 4) = 17
Distribute
10x+8 =17
Subtract 8 from each side
10x +8-8 = 17-8
10x = 9
Divide by 10
10x/10 = 9/10
x = 9/10
