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.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B)\ -2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3(x+y)=12&(1)\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}=3&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\ \dfrac{x}{2}=3\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(2)(3)\\\\x=6\\\\\text{Put it to (1):}\\\\3(6+y)=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1(6+y)}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\6+y=4\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\6-6+y=4-6\\\\y=-2$
