\(17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x\)
\(17x-11+3x=x+11+4x\)
\(20x-11=x+11+4x\)
\(20x-11=5x+11\)
Subtract 5x
\(20x-11-5x=11\)
\(15x-11=11\)
Add 11
\(15x=11+11\)
\(15x=22\)
Divide by 15
\(x= \frac{22}{15}\)
\(x=1 \frac{7}{15}\)

17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x

The first thing to do is to get all the xs on the same side. 

17x + 3x - x - 4x = 11 + 5 + 6
15x = 22
x = 22/15

The answer is x = 22/15 

22 - 15 = 7
If this needs to be simplified, the answer is x = 1 7/15
