When 3 times a number is decreased by 4 the result is 17. what is the number?
17
17 - y
Subtract 5 times the last digit from remaining truncated number. Repeat the step as necessary. If the result is divisible by 17, the original number is also divisible by 17
(me - 17)
17-5n
(6x)-17
17
When a number is haved the result is 17
The number is -9 because (-9/-9) -18 = -17
17 - y
3x-4=17 add 4 to both sides getting 3x=21, divide both sides by 3, x=7. the number is 7.
Subtract 5 times the last digit from remaining truncated number. Repeat the step as necessary. If the result is divisible by 17, the original number is also divisible by 17
300 decreased by 17 percent = 249
Let n be the number. Because the equation is not mathematically properly represented, it could be 6n-7 = 17, or it could be 6(n-7) = 17. Brackets are used in mathematics to avoid confusion like this.
(me - 17)
nothing can times up to 17 because it's a prime number
2 times a number minus 17 plus 20 times a number minus 9 is the same as 2x - 17 + 20x - 9 = 22x - 26
