Answer:
x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the whole bar equals 23, and you're already given 17, you need to subtract 17 from 23 to see what's left. 23-17=6. Now, you need to find out what each x is equal to, not the rest of the bar. So you have to divide 6/4. That's what gives you 1.5. x=1.5
4x+17=23
4x=23-17
4x=6
x=4/6
x=1.5
