Actually, 9 + 7X2 - 6 = 17 is correct.
The rules of arithmetic say that you should do multiplication then division then addition then subtraction. So, the above solutions works as follows
9 + 7X2 - 6 = 9 + 14 - 6 = 23 - 6 = 17

The answer you have is correct. 9+7X2-6=17.
Remember the order of operations.
1. First you raise to powers
2. Do everything in parentheses.
3. Multiplication/Division from left to right.
4. Las you add/subtract from left to right.
So first would be 7X2 = 14
9+14 = 23
23-6=17

9 + 7 x 2 - 6 = 17
Remember the order of operations. Multiply before you do the adding and subtracting.

17 is prime
so on the left you have to find a combination that sums 17
like 2 + 15 , 3 + 14 etc
