Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
To solve for x, we can isolate it on one side of the equation by subtracting 9 from both sides:
x+9−9=26−9x=17\begin{align*}x + 9 - 9 &= 26 - 9\\x &= 17\end{align*}x+9−9x=26−9=17
Therefore, the solution is x = 17 which corresponds to choice B.
x+9−9=26−9x=17\begin{align*}x + 9 - 9 &= 26 - 9\\x &= 17\end{align*}x+9−9x=26−9=17
Therefore, the solution is x = 17 which corresponds to choice B.
