Question

If 6 is added to x, the result is 17. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we need to do opposite operations.

x+6=17

Subtract 6 from both sides, since subtraction is the opposite of addition, thus cancelling the 6 out.

x+6=17

 -6   -6

x=11

So x is 11.
