Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
99 is added to 3 times of a number =3x + 99
99 is added to 3 times of a number when added to 5 gives 17
3x + 99 + 5 = 17
3x + 104 = 17
3x = 17 - 104
3x = - 87
x = - 87 / 3
x = - 29
Therefore, the number = x = - 29.
Checking :
3x + 104
= 3 ( - 29 ) + 104
= - 87 + 104
= 17 .
