Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf x = -51}$

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:

$\sf -(x)/(3) =17$

◼ Multiply both sides by 3:

$\sf -(x)/(3) * 3=17 * 3$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\sf -x=51$

◼ Divide both sides by -1:

$\sf (-x)/(-1) = (51)/(-1)$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\boxed{\sf x = -51}$

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation -x/3 = 17 is -51.
