Before we add or subtract some terms, we need to make our fractions have a common denominator. We can multiply the numerator and denominator in

\frac{2}{17}

by 3 to get

\frac{6}{51}

. Now, we have:

\frac{1}{51} + x = \frac{6}{51}

Now, we can subtract

\frac{1}{51}

from both sides to get:
Therefore,

x = \frac{5}{51}
