x=unknown number
product of a number and 17=(17X)
therefore the algebraic expression of the above statement is (17X)+ 26=-42
subtract 26 from both sides of the equation
17X=-68
divide both sides by 17
final answer is X=-4

17x+26=-42
17x=-42-26
17x=-68
x=-68/17
x=-4 answer.
Proof:
17*-4+26=-42
-68+26=-42
-42=-42
