The solution

You have entered [src]
17*x - 8 = 20*x - 7
$$17 x - 8 = 20 x - 7$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
17*x-8 = 20*x-7

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$17 x = 20 x + 1$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- 3 x = 1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3
x = 1 / (-3)

We get the answer: x = -1/3
