The solution

You have entered [src]
-3*x - 17 = 8*x - 50
$$- 3 x - 17 = 8 x - 50$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-3*x-17 = 8*x-50

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 3 x = 8 x - 33$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-11\right) x = -33$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -11
x = -33 / (-11)

We get the answer: x = 3
