9. given that 2(x - 4) - 9 = 17, you can prove that: a. x=0 b. x = 2 c. x = 15 d. x = 16 e. none of the above

E. None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the expression for x. First we solve the parenthesis and then we continue adding similar terms.

Therefore, x = 17.

We don't have that option among the first 4 options, therefore the correct answer would be E. None of the above.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
