Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]17 + 4x = - (5x + 1)[/tex]

Distribute - 1 to (5x + 1) .

[tex]17 + 4x = - 5x - 1[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides.

[tex]18 + 4x = - 5x[/tex]

Subtract 4x from both sides.

[tex]18 = - 9x[/tex]

Divide by - 9 from both sides.

[tex] - 2 = x[/tex]

9x+17=-1

Step 4

9x+17=-1  Subtract 17

9x=-18

Step 5

9x=-18  Then you divide by 19 and get your answer
