after adding 17 to a number, x, you get 23.
the equation that represents the above statement .
the value of x in the equation .

x+17=23,x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

Step 1

To know the equation you must understand each sentence and take it to mathematical terms, let's see

After adding 17 to a number, x, you get 23.

Let

x, the number we don´t know

"After adding 17 to a number", x, means that, you take your number (x) and then add (+) 17

X+17

"you get", means that it is equal to (=)

Hence

x+17=23, and this is the equation

Step 2

find the value of x

x+17=23

subtract 17 from each side

x+17-17=23-17

x+0=6

x=6

Have  a good day.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
