Answer:
[tex](17a-1)(x+1)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Expression is [tex]17ax+17a-x-1[/tex]
To factor: the given expression
Solution:
Take [tex]17a[/tex] common from the first two terms and [tex]-1[/tex] from the last two terms.
[tex]17ax+17a=17a(x+1)[/tex]
and
[tex]-x-1=-(x+1)[/tex]
So,
[tex]17ax+17a-x-1=17a(x+1)-1(x+1)\\=(17a-1)(x+1)[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]17ax+17a-x-1=(17a-1)(x+1)[/tex]
