Question

If you multiply me by 7, add 2 and divide by 3. You get 10. What number am I?​

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

In numerical terms, write down what the problem says to,

( 7x + 2 ) ÷ 3 = 10

Now solve with inverse operations and simplification,

( 7x + 2 ) ÷ 3 = 10

*3 *3

7x + 2 = 30

-2 -2

7x = 28

÷7 ÷7

x = 4

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

4 times 7 = 28

28 + 2 = 30

30/3 = 10
