Respuesta :

you would add 3/4 to that

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]
