Hello! I came to this website to seek help for this tedious Maths question that has been bugging me for the past 2 weeks. If anyone kind soul could help, please briefly explain it and workings may be useful too! Thanks for reading this thread overall, here's the question!:
"The number of books in a class library is 17 more than 3 times the number of students in the class. If 5 students are absent, each student can borrow exactly 4 books from the library. Find the number of students in the class."
