Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to do this problem, you can write the equation

(x-17)×-5=-80

and then, to find x, divide -5 by -80 to get 16. Now, add 16 to 17 to get 33.

To check the answer, plug in 33 in the place of x and solve. the result should be equal to -80. I hope this helps you!
