Let's simplify the equation step by step:
13(2+х) - 17 = 12х - 7(х+4)
First, distribute the 13 on the left side and the 7 on the right side:
26 + 13х - 17 = 12х - 7х - 28
Combine like terms on both sides:
26 + 13х - 17 = 12х - 7х - 226 - 17 + 13х = 12х - 7х - 29 + 13х = 5х - 28
Now, isolate the variable x by moving all terms with x to one side:
13x = 5x - 28 - 13x - 5x = - 28 - 8x = - 37
Finally, solve for x:
x = - 37 / 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -37/8.

Combine like terms on both sides:
26 + 13х - 17 = 12х - 7х - 2
26 - 17 + 13х = 12х - 7х - 2
9 + 13х = 5х - 28
Now, isolate the variable x by moving all terms with x to one side:
13x = 5x - 28 -
13x - 5x = - 28 -
8x = - 37
Finally, solve for x:
x = - 37 / 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -37/8.
