Answer:

The number is 8

Explanation:

You can solve this multiple ways. They are all similar

1. 59-3 which equals 56. 56÷7 is 8

2. Find the closest multiple of 7 which is 56. When doing so you should find that by multiplying 7 and 8

3. Use an equation. This is the long way to do what I explained above, so usually do this to double check answers or if you aren't sure of your answer. 59=3+(7x)

56÷7

x=8
