Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the number X

x/5 is the fifth part of that number

I propose equality:

x + x/5 = 17

we add the fractions on the left side:

6x/5 = 17

We pass 5 to multiply to the other side:

6x = 5 * 17

6x = 85

we clear x

x = 85/6

x = 14.17

test

14.17 + 2.83 = 17

okay

Answer:

14.1666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation as:

x + x/5 = 17

=> 5/5x + 1/5x = 17

=> 6/5x = 17

=> 6x = 17 * 5

=> 6x = 85

=> x = 85/6

=> x = 14.1666666667

Let's check whether our answer is correct

=> 14.1666666667 + 14.1666666667 / 5 = 17

=> 14.1666666667 +  2.83333333333 = 17

=> 17 = 17

So, the answer is 14.1666666667
