The solution

You have entered [src]
4*(x - 1) - 11*x = 17
$$- 11 x + 4 \left(x - 1\right) = 17$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
4*(x-1)-11*x = 17

Expand brackets in the left part
4*x-4*1-11*x = 17

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-4 - 7*x = 17

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = 21$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = 21 / (-7)

We get the answer: x = -3
