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.
