Write the following equation in the form of a linear equation in two variables: $4x - 17 = 0$.

(A) linear equation in two variables is expressed in the form $ax + by + c = 0$,where $a$,$b$,and $c$ are real numbers and $a$ and $b$ are not both zero.
Given the equation $4x - 17 = 0$,we can rewrite it by introducing the variable $y$ with a coefficient of $0$:
$4x + 0y - 17 = 0$.
