8 - (2/3) x = 17 + (1/3) x
- 9 = x
x + 9 = 0

Bring all the terms to one side:
0 = 17 - 8 + 1/3x + 2/3x
Add/Subtract like terms:
0 = x + 9

get all the terms on the same side. add the 2/3 x term to the right
8 = 17 + 1/3x + 2/3x
8 = 17 + x
now subtract the 8 over
0 = 17 - 8 + x
0 = 9 + x
of
0 = x + 9

Remove the fractions first by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:
24 - 2x = 51 + x
Then collect the terms onto the sides required to get the equation into "standard form":
51 - 24 + x + 2x = 0
3x + 27 = 0

combine like terms:
-2/3x = 9 + 1/3x
-3/3x = 9
-x - 9 = 0 or 0 = x + 9

51x+1 = 24x-2
27x -3 = 0
x - 1/9 = 0

8 - 2/3x = 17 + 1/3x subtract 8 from each side
-8_______-8
-2/3x = 9 + 1/3x add the term "2/3x" to each side
+2/3x____+2/3x
0 = 9 + x rearrange terms
0 = x + 9

24x - 2 = 51x + 1
-3 = 27x
x = -1/9

Just move everything to one side. So...
0 = x+9
