    5n + 2 = 17

    Subtract 2 from each side. (to cancel out the + 2)

    5n = 15

    Divide each side by 5. (to cancel out the * 5)

    n = 3

    3 if 5 times a number plus two is 17, then we can say 5x+2=17 if we subtract two on each side we have 5x=15, divide each side by 5 and you get x=3 so your answer is 3
