It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.

1. Where is the = sign?

2. Change to common denominator.

20/24x + 6/24 = -54/24

20/24x = -60/24

Would that give you -2?
#1 I cannot see any way that equation will work with your answer. For if you are correct, 3x=17, and everything except the remaining x is an integer. No way to combine them in to 17/3.
