The solution

You have entered [src]
3*x + -x - 17 = 21
$$3 x + \left(- x - 17\right) = 21$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*x-(x+17) = 21

Expand brackets in the left part
3*x-x-17 = 21

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-17 + 2*x = 21

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 38$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = 38 / (2)

We get the answer: x = 19
