Answer 1

Let's go through the steps to solve the equation \(3x + 2 = 17\) correctly:

Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

\[ 3x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 3x = 15 \]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3 to solve for \(x\).

\[ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 5 \]

Final Answer: \(x = 5\)
