-17+ 1/4 x + 1/4 x + 31 = 24

______________________________

 - We do this because we need 1 Number/Variable left over.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

 - We do this because we can only have 1 number on each side of the equals. (This doesn't count towards the number connected to the variable.)

Equation at the end of Step 2:

 - We do this because now we just need the 1 variable and the 1 number on opposite sides of the equal.

Equation at the end of Step 3:

 - We multiply by 2 since we have a fraction. In this case the reciprocal is 2 meaning we multiply by 2.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:
