The correct option is D
17/2

$(5 x - 4) - (3 x + 5) = 8 \Rightarrow (5 x - 4 - 3 x - 5) = 8 \Rightarrow 2 x - 9 = 8 \Rightarrow 2 x = 17 \Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{17}{2} \Rightarrow x = 8 \frac{1}{2}$

Solve the following question to find the value of 'x':
$2 (x + 3) - 3 x + 5 = 2 + 5 x$

5 x + 9 = 5 + 3 x

x =

5 x - 11 = 2 x + 7

3 (x - 8) - 2 (x - 5) = 2 - 5 x

2 (3 x + 1) - 7 = 2 (6 x - 7)

\frac{4}{5} (x + \frac{5}{6}) + \frac{2}{3} (x - \frac{1}{4}) = 1 \frac{1}{9}
