We have 17/35 = -x
Remember that any letter standing alone, for lack of a better word, has a factor of 1 next to it. In other words and for your question, -x is really -1 times x. Did you know that?
We multiply both sides of the equation by 35 as step one.
35 times (17/35) = -x times 35
17 = -35x
To find x, we now simply divide 17 by -35 (our step two).
17/-35 = x
-17/35 = x
