Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 2}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{9 - 4x = 17}[/tex]

⇒[tex] \sf{ - 4x = 17 - 9}[/tex]
Subtract 9 from 17
⇒[tex] \sf{ - 4x = 8}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by -4
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4} = \frac{8}{ - 4}} [/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{x = - 2}[/tex]
