meera has 4 pencil less than 3 times the pencils kanak has. meera has 17 pencils. how many pencils does kanak have?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Meera have 7 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of pencils Kanak have be = x

then Meera have = 3x-4

According to question--Meera has 17 pencils

we get a equation 3x -4 = 17

3x = 17 + 4

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Answer 2

Let the number of pencils Kanak has be x

Meera has 4 pencil less than 3 times the pencils Kanak has.

Meera has 3x-4

ATQ,

Meera has 17 pencils

$→3x - 4 = 17\\ →3x = 17 + 4 \\ →3x = 21 \\ →x = \frac{ 21}{3} \\ →x = 7$

Answer:- So, Kanak have 7 pencils.
