Answer:

Let the unknown number be x,

4x + 17 = 5

=> 4x = 5 - 17

=> 4x = -12

=> x = -12 / 4

=> x = -3

To cross check,

4 * (-3) + 17 = 5

-12 + 17 = 5

5 = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The product (the result of a multiplication) of 4 and a number. Let x be the unknown number:

4 · x = 4x

Plus 17:

4x + 17

Is 5:

4x + 17 = 5

Solve:

4x = 5 - 17

4x = -12

x = -12 ÷ 4

x = -3
