To solve the equation algebraically, we need to isolate the variable, which in this case is x.
First, we subtract -13 from both sides of the equation:
17 - (-13) = -8x
17 + 13 = -8x
30 = -8x
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -8 to solve for x:
30 / -8 = x
-3.75 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.75.
