Hello there! Let’s start with #17 through steps:
1. Add 25 to both sides
-25 + 25 = 0
8 + 25 = 33
2. Simplify
2x = 33
3. Divide by 2
2 divided by 2 equals x
33 divided by 2 equals 16.5
Your final answer: x = 16.5 OR 33/2
Now, onto 18!
Given that y = 2:
1. Plug 2 in
3x = 4(2) + 8
3x = 8 + 8
2. Simplify
3x = 16
3. Divide by 3
3 divided by 3 equals x
16 divided by 3 equals 5.3333
Your final answer: Given y = 2, this means x = approximately 5.3333.
Hope this helps!
