Question

I need help :( please help. Best answer = Brainiest,

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let a be the other number

so one number is $\frac{2}{3}a - 3$

a + $\frac{2}{3}a - 3$ = 17

$\frac{5}{3}a - 3 = 17$

$\frac{5}{3}a$ = 17 + 3 = 20

a = 20 x $\frac{3}{5}$ = 12

$\frac{2}{3}(12) - 3$ = 5
