Answer: The number is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation - 7 (x-17) = -35, then simplify

-7x-119=-35

-7x=-154

x=22

so your number is 22.

Fernanda Oliver · Answer 2

Let x = your number.

(x - 17) * - 7 = - 35. Divide each side by - 7.

(x - 17) = 5. Add 17 to each side.

x = 22.

Your number is 22
