Hello!
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{X=-17}[/tex]
*The answer must have a NEGATIVE sign!*
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{34}{-2}[/tex]
Then, you divide by the numbers from left to right.
[tex]34/-2=-17[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{X=-17}[/tex], which is our the correct answer.
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day! :)
