Type the integer that makes the following addition sentence true:

17 +
= 2

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 17 + x = 2 \), we can isolate \( x \) by subtracting 17 from both sides:

\[ x = 2 - 17 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = -15 \]

So, the integer that makes the addition sentence true is \(-15\).
