Question

If a number is multiplied by 3 and then added with 17 we get 26 . Find the number.

Answer

Let the number be "x"

So, according to the question

➡️ x × 3 + 17 = 26

➡ x × 3 = 26 - 17

️➡ x × 3 = 9

️➡️ x = 9/3

➡️ x = 3

Verification

we put the value of x ( 3 )

➡️ 3 × 3 + 17 = 26

➡️ 9 + 17 = 26

➡️ 26 = 26

➡️ LHS = RHS

Hence, its verified that the value of x is 3
