Question

26

Explanation:

Answer 2

number is 5

Explanation:

let n be the number then 4 added to it is n + 4 , this sum is then tripled, multiplied by 3 , so

3(n + 4) = n + 22

3n + 12 = n + 22 ( subtract n from both sides )

2n + 12 = 22 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

2n = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 5

that is the number is 5
