Okay, So We Need To Solve For X, So We Can Solve The Expression:
6x - 5.

Lets Begin.

-17x - 9 = 8.

So, We First Need To Add 9 To Both Sides. 

-17x = 8 + 9

8+9 = 17.

-17x = 17

Divide.

-17x/-17 = 1x = x.

So:

X = 17/-17

17/-17 = -1

So:

X = -1

Now, Plug In The Value For The Expression.

6 * (-1) - 5

6 * (-1) = -6

(-6) - 5 = -11.

So, Our Value For 6x - 5 Is -11.
