Question

a number exceeded by 17 gives one less than four times the number the number is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the number be x.

a/c to condition

x+17=4x-1

x-4x+17=-1

x-4x=-1-17

-3x=-18

3x=18

x=18/3

x=6

the number is 6.

Tally:-

x+17=4x-1

6+17=4×6-1

23=24-1

23=23

L.H.S=R.H.S

so, the no is 6.
