x = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

x+17=23,x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

Step 1

To know the equation you must understand each sentence and take it to mathematical terms, let's see

After adding 17 to a number, x, you get 23.

Let

x, the number we don´t know

"After adding 17 to a number", x, means that, you take your number (x) and then add (+) 17

X+17

"you get", means that it is equal to (=)

Hence

x+17=23, and this is the equation

Step 2

find the value of x

x+17=23

subtract 17 from each side

x+17-17=23-17

x+0=6

x=6

Have  a good day.
