Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 2}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{9 - 4x = 17}

Move 9 to right hand side and change it's sign


\sf{ - 4x = 17 - 9}

Subtract 9 from 17


\sf{ - 4x = 8}

Divide both sides of the equation by -4


\sf{ ( - 4x)/( - 4) = (8)/( - 4)}

Calculate


\sf{x = - 2}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
