6-(2x)=17 because less than means minus.
So 6-two times a number. We don't know
what number so we use X as a variable to fill
in for that number. We have to solve
multiplication first because PEMDAS so we
put the 2X in parentheses so it's solved
before we subtract 6! Then we put =17
because it says it is no more than 17,
meaning it's equal to 17!
