The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number.
From here, we write the following equation:
[tex] x + \frac{17}{4} = 5 [/tex]
Then, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[tex] x = 5 - \frac{17}{4} [/tex]
[tex] x = \frac{20}{4} - \frac{17}{4} [/tex]
[tex] x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Answer:
You must add:
[tex] x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
