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.
300 decreased by 17 percent = 249
(me - 17)
There is a number missing near the end: before " ... times plus 3".
2 times a number minus 17 plus 20 times a number minus 9 is the same as 2x - 17 + 20x - 9 = 22x - 26
nothing can times up to 17 because it's a prime number
