I put -2x^2+17 instead of 17-2x^2. Will I have got the answer wrong?
No. Those expressions are equivalent.
Try substituting some values for x and see if you find a value for x where the expressions evaluate to different result. (Tip: you won't be able to.)

Thanks so much for this. I thought that would be the case but I began to second guess myself.
