Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-9x + 1 = -x + 17

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Add 9x on both sides:                    1 = 8x + 17
  2. Subtract 17 on both sides:              -16 = 8x
  3. Divide 8 on both sides:                  -2 = x
  4. Rewrite:                                           x = -2
