you need to subtract the 3. when you add a 3 you end up with 6. WHAT YOU DO TO ONE SIDE, YOU MUST DO TO THE OTHER.

To solve the equation 2 x + 3 = 17 , first subtract 3 to get 2 x = 14 , then divide by 2 to find x = 7 . Substituting back confirms that the solution is correct. Thus, the value of x is 7.
