Question

For my math homework, 7th grade. Maria was playing a game with her brother. She said, “I’m thinking of a number. When you multiply my number by six and add seven, you get twenty-five. What is my number?”

A: what is her number
B: explain how you found your answer

Answer 1

-5 is the answer to your question.

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

A) the number=x

we can write the equation

6x+7=25

- both sides by 7

6x=18

divide both sides by 6

x=3

I feal like this suffices as an explanation.
