Answer:
The fraction taken from 17 is [tex]$ \frac{16}{3}$[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the fraction that is taken from 17 be 'a'.
Writing the given statement mathematically, we would have:
[tex]$ 17 - a = \frac{17}{3} + 6$[/tex]
⇒ 51 - 3x = 17 + 18
⇒ 51 - 3x = 35
⇒ 3x = 16
⇒ x = [tex]$ \frac{16}{3} $[/tex] is the answer.
