Question

the sum of three times a number and 17 is 26 (a) convert the statement into equation (b) find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: Let x= be the number

3x + 17 = 26

Solution:

3x + 17 = 26    Minus both sides with 17

3x + 17 - 17 = 26 - 17

3x = 9  Multiply both sides with 1/3

1/3 (3x) = 9 (1/3)

x= 3
