​

Answer 1

$\sf\longrightarrow\dfrac{17(2 - x) - 5(x + 12)}{1 - 7x} = 8 \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow17(2 - x) - 5(x + 12) = 8(1 - 7x) \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow34 - 17x - 5x - 60 = 8 - 56x \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow34 - 60 - 8 = - 56 + 17x + 5x \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow \cancel{- 34} = \cancel{- 34}x \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow \: \boxed{ \boxed{ \purple{\sf{x = 1}}}}</p><p>$

Therefore, the value of x is 1.
