(17×c)+(17×d) =17c+17d=34cd I don't understand

Answer by fractalier(6550)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You cannot add c's and d's together...they are like apples and oranges. Thus
17(c + d) = 17c + 17d
That's it. You cannot go on until you know the value of c and/or d.
