Answer:
the value of [tex]x= -2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that [tex]-9x+1= -x+17[/tex]
Combine the like terms, we get
[tex]-9x+x=17-1[/tex]
[tex]-8x=16[/tex] then divide by [tex]-8[/tex] both sides
[tex]\frac{-8x}{-8} =\frac{16}{-8}[/tex]
then, simplify we get
[tex]x=-2[/tex]
Therefore the value of [tex]x=-2[/tex]
