Question

17 less than 4 times a number is 11 find the number

Answer 1

let no be x
then a/q   4x-17 = 11 ⇒ 4x = 28 ⇒ x = 7

Answer 2

hi friend ,
           
let the number be ' x '
17 less than a three times a number = 3x - 17
total number given = 11
according to sum
                      3x - 17 = 11
                              3x = 11 +17 (17 is negative in lhs  so when it comes to rhs it becomes positive )
                              3x = 28
                                x = 28/3 (3 is multiplying in lhs when it comes to rhs it becomes division
                                therefore the required answer is 28/3
