Question

I think of a number N. I add 5 to N and then multiply the answer by 3. The result is 84. What is the number N that l first thought of?

Answer 1

The answer is 26.33 repeating
How you get that answer is
First do N times 3
so the you have 3n + 5 = 84
minus 5 from both sides and then you get 3n = 79
divid both sides by 3 and then you get n = 26.33 reapting

Answer 2

84/3 = 28
28-5 =23
Resposta = 23
