Here are the solutions to the given linear equations:

(1.) $17x + 12 = 54 - 4x$ Add $4x$ to both sides: $17x + 4x + 12 = 54$ $21x + 12 = 54$ Subtract $12$ from both sides: $21x = 54 - 12$ $21x = 42$ Divide by $21$: $x = \frac{42}{21}$ $x = 2$

(2.) $6x - 16 = 5x - 9$ Subtract $5x$ from both sides: $6x - 5x - 16 = -9$ $x - 16 = -9$ Add $16$ to both sides: $x = -9 + 16$ $x = 7$

(3.) $4x - 4 = 3x + 2$ Subtract $3x$ from both sides: $4x - 3x - 4 = 2$ $x - 4 = 2$ Add $4$ to both sides: $x = 2 + 4$ $x = 6$

(4.) $13x - 25 = 9x - 13$ Subtract $9x$ from both sides: $13x - 9x - 25 = -13$ $4x - 25 = -13$ Add $25$ to both sides: $4x = -13 + 25$ $4x = 12$ Divide by $4$: $x = \frac{12}{4}$ $x = 3$

(5.) $9x + 2 = 7x + 15$ Subtract $7x$ from both sides: $9x - 7x + 2 = 15$ $2x + 2 = 15$ Subtract $2$ from both sides: $2x = 15 - 2$ $2x = 13$ Divide by $2$: $x = \frac{13}{2}$ $x = 6.5$

(6.) $3x + 39 = 2x + 42$ Subtract $2x$ from both sides: $3x - 2x + 39 = 42$ $x + 39 = 42$ Subtract $39$ from both sides: $x = 42 - 39$ $x = 3$

(7.) $5x - 3x = 36 - x$ Combine like terms on the left: $2x = 36 - x$ Add $x$ to both sides: $2x + x = 36$ $3x = 36$ Divide by $3$: $x = \frac{36}{3}$ $x = 12$

(8.) $7x - 12 + 5 = 8x - 24$ Combine constants on the left: $7x - 7 = 8x - 24$ Subtract $7x$ from both sides: $-7 = 8x - 7x - 24$ $-7 = x - 24$ Add $24$ to both sides: $-7 + 24 = x$ $x = 17$

(9.) $30 - x + 12 = 3x + 2$ Combine constants on the left: $42 - x = 3x + 2$ Add $x$ to both sides: $42 = 3x + x + 2$ $42 = 4x + 2$ Subtract $2$ from both sides: $42 - 2 = 4x$ $40 = 4x$ Divide by $4$: $x = \frac{40}{4}$ $x = 10$

(10.) $6x - 30 = 60 - 8x - 20$ Combine constants on the right: $6x - 30 = 40 - 8x$ Add $8x$ to both sides: $6x + 8x - 30 = 40$ $14x - 30 = 40$ Add $30$ to both sides: $14x = 40 + 30$ $14x = 70$ Divide by $14$: $x = \frac{70}{14}$ $x = 5$

(11.) $9x - 16 = 3x - (x - 5)$ Distribute the negative sign: $9x - 16 = 3x - x + 5$ Combine like terms on the right: $9x - 16 = 2x + 5$ Subtract $2x$ from both sides: $9x - 2x - 16 = 5$ $7x - 16 = 5$ Add $16$ to both sides: $7x = 5 + 16$ $7x = 21$ Divide by $7$: $x = \frac{21}{7}$ $x = 3$

(12.) $5x - 10 + 2x = 6(x + 1) - x$ Combine like terms on the left: $7x - 10 = 6x + 6 - x$ Combine like terms on the right: $7x - 10 = 5x + 6$ Subtract $5x$ from both sides: $7x - 5x - 10 = 6$ $2x - 10 = 6$ Add $10$ to both sides: $2x = 6 + 10$ $2x = 16$ Divide by $2$: $x = \frac{16}{2}$ $x = 8$

(13.) $2(5x + 1) = x + 2$ Distribute on the left: $10x + 2 = x + 2$ Subtract $x$ from both sides: $10x - x + 2 = 2$ $9x + 2 = 2$ Subtract $2$ from both sides: $9x = 2 - 2$ $9x = 0$ Divide by $9$: $x = \frac{0}{9}$ $x = 0$

(14.) $5(x + 1) = 2(x
