Answer: n = 24 for the expression 17=2/3n+3

Step by step explanation:

Step 1: simplify the equation

17 = 2/3n + 3

Solve the right hand side of the equation

17 - 3 = 2/3n

14 = 2/3n

Step 2: solve the remaining expression to get the value of n

14 * 3 n = 2

3n = 2/14

N = 1/7 * 3

N = 1/21

N= 21 (Since n is in the denominator)

First, you should add -3 on both sides of the equation so you will have:
17 - 3 = 2/3n
14 = 2/3n
now you can multiply both sides by 3:
(14)3 = (2/3n)3
42 = 2n
42/2 = n
21 = n :)))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day
