Решим каждое уравнение пошагово:
1)  $$3x + 5 = 17$$  
   $$3x = 17 - 5$$  
   $$3x = 12$$  
   $$x = \frac{12}{3}$$  
   $$x = 4$$
2)  $$5x + 8 = 23$$  
   $$5x = 23 - 8$$  
   $$5x = 15$$  
   $$x = \frac{15}{5}$$  
   $$x = 3$$
3)  $$4 + 6x = 16$$  
   $$6x = 16 - 4$$  
   $$6x = 12$$  
   $$x = \frac{12}{6}$$  
   $$x = 2$$
4)  $$2.4x + 6.2 = 78.2$$  
   $$2.4x = 78.2 - 6.2$$  
   $$2.4x = 72$$  
   $$x = \frac{72}{2.4}$$  
   $$x = 30$$
5)  $$\frac{3}{4}x + 2 = 23$$  
   $$\frac{3}{4}x = 23 - 2$$  
   $$\frac{3}{4}x = 21$$  
   $$x = 21 \cdot \frac{4}{3}$$  
   $$x = \frac{84}{3}$$  
   $$x = 28$$
6)  $$10x - 4 = 2.6$$  
   $$10x = 2.6 + 4$$  
   $$10x = 6.6$$  
   $$x = \frac{6.6}{10}$$  
   $$x = 0.66$$
7)  $$15x - 123 = 102$$  
   $$15x = 102 + 123$$  
   $$15x = 225$$  
   $$x = \frac{225}{15}$$  
   $$x = 15$$
8)  $$2x - 8 = 1$$  
   $$2x = 1 + 8$$  
   $$2x = 9$$  
   $$x = \frac{9}{2}$$  
   $$x = 4.5$$
9)  $$35 - 5x = 20$$  
   $$-5x = 20 - 35$$  
   $$-5x = -15$$  
   $$x = \frac{-15}{-5}$$  
   $$x = 3$$
10) $$52 - 7x = 31$$  
    $$-7x = 31 - 52$$  
    $$-7x = -21$$  
    $$x = \frac{-21}{-7}$$  
    $$x = 3$$
11) $$15 - 3a = 3$$  
    $$-3a = 3 - 15$$  
    $$-3a = -12$$  
    $$a = \frac{-12}{-3}$$  
    $$a = 4$$
12) $$8 - 6x = 5$$  
    $$-6x = 5 - 8$$  
    $$-6x = -3$$  
    $$x = \frac{-3}{-6}$$  
    $$x = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
13) $$4.8 - 4m = 1.6$$  
    $$-4m = 1.6 - 4.8$$  
    $$-4m = -3.2$$  
    $$m = \frac{-3.2}{-4}$$  
    $$m = 0.8
$$
14) $$5\frac{1}{2} - 2y = 1\frac{3}{4}$$  
    $$5.5 - 2y = 1.75$$  
    $$-2y = 1.75 - 5.5$$  
    $$-2y = -3.75$$  
    $$y = \frac{-3.75}{-2}$$  
    $$y = 1.875$$
