20*x + 7 = 17*x - 8
20x+7=17x820 x + 7 = 17 x - 8
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
20*x+7 = 17*x-8

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
20x=17x1520 x = 17 x - 15
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
3x=153 x = -15
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = -15 / (3)

We get the answer: x = -5
