The solution

You have entered [src]
7*x - 8 + -2*x + 5 = 17
$$\left(5 - 2 x\right) + \left(7 x - 8\right) = 17$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(7*x-8)-(2*x-5) = 17

Expand brackets in the left part
7*x-8-2*x+5 = 17

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-3 + 5*x = 17

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$5 x = 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5
x = 20 / (5)

We get the answer: x = 4
