• A. a fraction
• B. an integers
• C. a rational number
• D. cannot be solved

Answer 1

The correct option is A a fraction

Given, $8x-3=-25+17x$.

Transposing $x$ terms to one side, we get,

$\Rightarrow -3+25=17x-8x$

$\Rightarrow$ $9x=22$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{22}{9}$, which is a fraction.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
