Answer:

5, hope this helped my love have a good rest of your day ^^

Explanation:

the product of 2 and 17 is 34

34 - 4 is 30

30 devided by 6 is 5

therefore, by working backwords we can figure out that this math riddle would be equal to 5 ^^

A number = x

Is multiplied by 6 = 6x

And the product is added to 4 = 6x + 4

The sum is equal to the product of 2 and 17 ; 6x + 4 = 2 * 17

Solve for x

6x + 4 = 2 * 17

Combine like terms

6x = 34 - 4

6x = 30

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 30/6

x = 5
