[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of x, we can solve the equation: 3x + 2 = 17.

First, we subtract 2 from both sides: 3x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2.

This simplifies to: 3x = 15.

Next, we divide both sides by 3 to isolate x: 3x/3 = 15/3.

This simplifies to: x = 5.

Therefore, the value of x is 5.
