Answer: -6/7

Step-by-step explanation: 5 - 6x = 8x + 17

                                             5 + - 6x = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 = 8x + 17

                                            -6x + 5 - 8x = 8x + 17 - 8x

                                            -14x + 5 = 17

                                            -14x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5

                                           -14x = 12

                                            -14x/-14 = 12/-14

                                             x = -6/7
