а) Давай сначала упростим уравнение:
\[ (17 - 8 \frac{15}{31} + 3 \frac{29}{31}) + x = 16 \frac{14}{31} \]
\[ 17 - 8 + 3 = 12 \]
\[ -\frac{15}{31} + \frac{29}{31} = \frac{29 - 15}{31} = \frac{14}{31} \]
\[ 12 + \frac{14}{31} = 12 \frac{14}{31} \]
\[ 12 \frac{14}{31} + x = 16 \frac{14}{31} \]
\[ x = 16 \frac{14}{31} - 12 \frac{14}{31} \]
\[ x = (16 - 12) + (\frac{14}{31} - \frac{14}{31}) \]
\[ x = 4 + 0 \]
\[ x = 4 \]
б) Решим второе уравнение:
\[ (0,85x - 1,72) : 1,3 = 2,6 \]
\[ 0,85x - 1,72 = 2,6 \times 1,3 \]
\[ 0,85x - 1,72 = 3,38 \]
\[ 0,85x = 3,38 + 1,72 \]
\[ 0,85x = 5,1 \]
\[ x = \frac{5,1}{0,85} \]
\[ x = 6 \]
а) x = 4
б) x = 6
