Step-by-Step Solution

We begin by solving the addition exercise in the right parenthesis:

(9+17x)×7=420 (9+17x)\times7=420

We then multiply each of the terms inside the parentheses by 7:

(9×7)+(17x×7)=420 (9\times7)+(17x\times7)=420

We continue by solving each of the exercises inside of the parentheses:

63+119x=420 63+119x=420

Following this we rearrange the sections whilst maintaining the appropriate sign:

119x=42063 119x=420-63

119x=357 119x=357

Finally we divide the two parts by 119:

119119x=357119 \frac{119}{119}x=\frac{357}{119}

x=3 x=3
