X=____
Inverse operation:
____

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( X - 17 = -14 \), you need to isolate \( X \).

### Step 1: Inverse Operation
The inverse operation to isolate \( X \) is addition. You can add 17 to both sides of the equation.

### Step 2: Perform the Addition
\[
X - 17 + 17 = -14 + 17
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
X = 3
\]

So, the final answer is:
\[
X = 3
\]

The inverse operation is:
\[
\text{Addition of 17}
\]
