Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒  7x - 17 = 4x + 1

combine like terms

7x - 4x = 1 + 17

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

⇒  -x + 5 = x - 11

combine like terms

- x - x = - 11 - 5

-2x = -16

x = 16 / 2

x = 8

⇒  5x + 8 = 7x + 2

combine like terms

5x - 7x = 2 - 8

- 2x = - 6

x = 6 / 2

x = 3
