Question

21 added to a number is the same as 37

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hi, let me help you out.

First I'm going to turn the verbal phrase into an algebraic phrase...

21+n=37. here n is the unknown number

Next, I believe you need to find what n equals.

This can be done by subtracting 21 from both sides.

n=37-21

n=16

Thus the number we need is 16.
