А) 17(5 + х) - 20х = 8х - 14
85 + 17х - 20х = 8х - 14
17х - 20х - 8х = - 14 - 85
- 11х = - 99
х = - 99 : (-11)
х = 9
-----------------------------
Проверка: 17(5 + 9) - 20 * 9 = 8 * 9 - 14
17 * 14 - 20 * 9 = 72 - 14
238 - 180 = 58
58 = 58
б) 24х -12(7 + х) = 16 - 8х
24х - 84 - 12х = 16 - 8х
24х - 12х + 8х = 16 + 84
20х = 100
х = 100 : 20
х = 5
-----------------------------
Проверка: 24 * 5 - 12(7 + 5) = 16 - 8 * 5
120 - 12 * 12 = 16 - 40
120 - 144 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
