Answer 2

$\textbf{\large{\underline{Answer ;-}}}$

$\textsf{\large{The number is 5}}$

$\textbf{\large{\underline{Explaination ;-}}}$

$\textsf{Consider the number as x}$

$\textsf{\large{So, the Equation =}}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow2 + 3x = 17}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow3x = 17 - 2}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow3x = 15}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow \: x = \dfrac{15}{3} }$

$\tt{\Rightarrow \: x = 5}$

$\textbf{Therefore the number is 5}$

$\textbf{\large{\underline{Verification ;-}}}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow2 + (3 \times5 ) = 17}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow2 + 15 = 17}$

$\tt{\Rightarrow17 = 17}$
