Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation: We're asked to solve the equation.

Given eqn:


\sf{2x-5=17}

Add 5 to both sides


\sf{2x=17+5}


\sf{2x=22}

Divide both sides by 2


\sf{x=11}

Now substitute 11 into x + 3


\sf{11+3=14}

Therefore, the answer is 14

17-5=12
Since there is 2 x, 12/2=6
So 6 is x.
6+3=9!
