Yes you are correct with that answer
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The text of this expression is:
"If 3 is added to twice a number, the result is 17. Find the number"
Let's call
the number we want to find.
Twice the number is equal to

So, if we add 3 to 2x, we get

And we know that this is equal to 17:

Now we can solve the equation to find x: first, we subtract 3 from both sides

Now we divide both sides by 2:

The answer is (6, 7)
This is the system of two equations:
<span>2y − x = 8
y − 2x = −5
_____
Express the second equation in the term of y:
2y - x = 8
y = 2x - 5
_____
Substitute y in the first equation:
2(2x - 5) - x = 8
4x - 10 - x = 8
4x - x = 10 + 8
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x = 6
Since x = 6 and y = 2x - 5, then:
y = 2 * 6 - 5
y = 12 - 5
y = 7
Therefore, (x, y) = (6, 7)</span>
