Answer:

x = 3.75 or [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

17 = -13 - 8x

add 13 to both sides

17 + 13 = -13 + 13 + 8x

30 = 8x

divide both sides by 8

30/8 = 8x /8

3.75 = x

Add 13 on both sides to get the x and it’s coefficient together. Now it is 30 = -8x. Divide both sides by negative 8 and X is equal to 3.75.
