Question:

Form the equation of the sum of thrice a number and 5 is 17.

What to find?

We have to form the equation after reading and understanding the statement given above.

Solution:

The sum of thrice a number and 5 is 17.

Let the number be x.

Thrice a number means a number is times times a number. So it will be 3x.

The sum of thrice a number and 5 means the addition of 3x and 5. So it will be 3x + 5.

Now, 'is 17' means '= 17'.

∴ Now the equation will be 3x + 5 = 17.
