Question

if 3 is subtracted from 4 time the number the result is 17 the number is​

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Explanation:

3 - 4x = 17

4x = 17 + 3

4x = 20

x = 20/ 4

x = 5

if 5 multiplied by 4 gives 20 and 3 subtracted from 20 gives 17.

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

by the problem,

4x-3=17

Add 3 on both sides of the equation

4x-3+3=17+3

4x=20

x=20/4

x=5

the number is 5
