Fraction is a topic that deals with expressing the relationship between two numbers or terms in the form of a ratio. So that the required symbolic language required in the question is: 17 - [tex]\frac{x}{17}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex] + 6
Thus the value of x is 90[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].
Fraction is a topic that deals with expressing the relationship between two numbers or terms in the form of a ratio. Some types of fractions are mixed fractions, proper fractions, and improper fractions.
Thus to express the given question in a symbolic language, let the fraction of 17 taken away be represented by x.
So that;
i. a fraction of 17 is taken away from 17 can be expressed as 17 - [tex]\frac{x}{17}[/tex].
ii. remains exceeds one-third of seventeen by six can be expressed as [tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex] + 6
Therefore the required symbolic language to the question is:
17 - [tex]\frac{x}{17}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17}{3}[/tex] + 6
So that,
[tex]\frac{289 - x}{17}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17 + 18}{3}[/tex]
cross multiply to have
3(289 - x) = 17(17 + 180)
867 - 3x = 595
3x = 867 - 595
=272
x = [tex]\frac{272}{3}[/tex]
= 90[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
x = 90[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
