Question

When 12 is added to a number the result is 32 less than 3 times a number.
What is this number?

Answer 1

Let the number = x
12 + x = 3x - 32
x = 3x - 44 Subtract 12 from both sides
-2x = -44 Subtract 3x from both sides
x = 22 Divide by -2

SO THE ANSWER IS 22. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!

Answer 2

x - the number


`x+12=3x-32 \\ x-3x=-32-12 \\ -2x=-44 \\ x=(-44)/(-2) \\ x=22`

The number is 22.
