Question

If four times a number plus 3 is 11, what is the number

Answer 1

Four times a number plus 3 is 11


`4 * n + 3 = 11`


`4n + 3 = 11 -3`


`4n = 8`


`4n/4=8 / 4`


`n = 2`

Hence solved

Answer 2

n - the number

4 · n + 3 = 11
4n + 3 = 11 |subtract 3 from both sides
4n = 8 |divide both sides by 4

n = 2
