    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

    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
