Answer:
C. 14 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Write the question.
17 - 2x = -11
2. Subtract 17 from both sides
-17 -17
- 2x = -28
3. Negatives cancel
2x = 28
4. Divide both sides by 2
/2 /2
x = 14
5. Check the answer, write the equation.
17 - 2x = -11
6. Substitute x with the value
17 - 2(14) = -11
17 - 28 = -11
-11 = -11
The answer is correct!
So, 14 is the answer
