What does x equal if x times 5-17=-8

x * 5 - 17 = -8

Simplify the equation.

5x - 17 = -8

Add 17 to both sides of the equation.

5x = 9

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 1.8

1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

x *5 - 17=-8

collect like terms together

x *5=-8+17

x* 5=9

x * 5 =9

divide both side by 5

x = 9/5

x=1.8
