Complete question:

<em>Write the verbal statement as an equation using x as a variable. Then solve. 2 more than 3 times a number is 17. </em>

<em />

The required expression is 3x + 2 = 17 and the value of x is 5

Let the unknown number be x

3 times a number is expressed as 3x
2 more than3 times the number is 3x + 2

If the result is equivalent to 17, the required expression will be 3x + 2 = 17

Solve the resulting expression:

3x + 2 = 17

3x = 17 - 2

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Hence the required expression is 3x + 2 = 17 and the value of x is 5
