Question

A number is diveded by 6. Then 8 is added to the quotient. Next 3 is subtracted from the sum. The result is 7. What is the number. ? Plz help ❤❤

Answer 1

The number is 12 because:

x ÷ 6 + 8 - 3 = 7

so you do the equation backwards to solve for x making it:

7 + 3 - 8 x 6

which equals to 12 then you double check

12 ÷ 6 + 8 - 3 =7

It all works out. Hope this helped :)

7

10

2

you multiply this by 6
