Answer:

E. None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the expression for x. First we solve the parenthesis and then we continue adding similar terms.

[tex]2(x-4)-9=17\\2x-8-9=17\\2x-17=17\\2x=17+17\\2x=34\\x=34/2\\x=17[/tex]

Therefore, x = 17.

We don't have that option among the first 4 options, therefore the correct answer would be E. None of the above.
