Solution :-
Let us assume that, the number is 17 .
So,
→ Three time of x = 3 * x = 3x
then,
→ 2 more than three time of x = (3x + 2)
given that, 2 more than three time of x is equal to 17 .
therefore,
→ 3x + 2 = 17
→ 3x = 17 - 2
→ 3x = 15
→ x = 5 (Ans.)
Hence, the required number is 5 .
Verification :-
→ 2 more than three times of 5 = 17
→ 3 * 5 + 2 = 17
→ 15 + 2 = 17
→ 17 = 17 .
