Option 1 is correct that is x=17.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the information:

122 is decreased by 5 times a number.

The result is equal to number increased by 20

let the number be x

So, according to the question equation becomes:

122-5x =x+20

We will solve for x to get the number:

Rearranging the terms

122-20= x+5x

On simplification:

102 =6x

so, x will be 102/6 =17

hence, option 1 is correct.
