Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{6}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is the same value as y. Therefore, y = 17. We can place this into slope intercept form (except with a defined value for y) and solve for x.

Start by subtracting 7 from both sides. Then, divide by -12 to solve for x. Finally, simplify the fraction.

17 = -12x + 7

10 = -12x

-10/12 = x

-5/6 = x

[tex]\large\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{6}}[/tex]
