Answer:
[tex]\boxed {x = -2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]9 - 4x = 17[/tex]
-Subtract both sides by [tex]9[/tex]:
[tex]9 - 9 - 4x = 17 - 9[/tex]
[tex]-4x = 8[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]4[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{8}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {x = -2}[/tex]
Therefore, value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]-2[/tex].
