The solution

           x     
2 = 17*x - -- - 2
           17    
$$2 = \left(- \frac{x}{17} + 17 x\right) - 2$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2 = 17*x-1/17*x-2

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
2 = -2 + 288*x/17

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = \frac{288 x}{17} - 4$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{\left(-288\right) x}{17} = -4$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -288/17
x = -4 / (-288/17)

We get the answer: x = 17/72
