    x=1/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.

    Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x

    Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.

    The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have - 24+7 = - 34x.

    Add the like terms of - 24 and 7 to get - 17.

    Equation: - 17 = - 34x

    Divide both sides by - 34 to get x by itself.

    -17/-34 = x

    Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get - 1/-2

    Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.

    So the answer should be x=1/2
