17. solve the equations: 4(x - 3) + 5 = 1 a. x = 3 b. x = -1/4 c. x = -2 d. x = 2 96 = -6(-4 - 3y) a. x = 2 b. x = 4 c. x = -2 d. x = -4 -4y + 8 = 4(2y - 2) - 2(-16 + 8y) a. y = -4 b. y = 4 c. y = -2 d. y = -6

1)4(x-3)+5=1
4x-4×3+5=1
4x=1+12-5
4x=8 (divide by 4)
x=2

answer is D

2)96=-6(-4-3y)
96=24+18y
-18y=24-96 (divide by -18)
y=-72/(-18)
y=4
answer is B

3)-4y+8=4(2y-2)-2(-16+8y)
-4y+8=8y-8+32-16y
-4y+8y=24-8
4y=16 (divide by 4)
y=4

answer is B

1) D x=2
2) B x=4
3) B y=4

The answer should be 5.
