The solution

You have entered [src]
4*(3*x - 1) + -8*x + 3 = -17
$$\left(3 - 8 x\right) + 4 \left(3 x - 1\right) = -17$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
4*(3*x-1)-(8*x-3) = -17

Expand brackets in the left part
4*3*x-4*1-8*x+3 = -17

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-1 + 4*x = -17

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$4 x = -16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = -16 / (4)

We get the answer: x = -4
