I believe your answer is 8.

Three times a number less than twice the number and nine is seventeen can be written as: 3n - 2n + 9 = 17

Solve for n as follows:

3n - 2n = n 

n + 9 = 17

17 - 9 = 8

Hope this helps! :)

The lid for a circular plastic food container has a diameter of 9 cm.
Levart [38]
If the diameter is 9 cm the radius is 4.5 cm (half the diameter).  The area of a circle is given by the formula:  4πr^2, where π is the constant ratio of circumference to diameter (3.14159...).

3.14 cm x 4.5 cm = 14.13 cm^2.  Remember, the units must be squared to represent area.  14.13 is extended to the nearest hundredth.
