Question

Three times a number added to another number gives 25.Taking the numbers as x and y form an equation

Answer 1

3*x + y = 25

Explanation:

Here we have the sentence:

"three times a number (let's call it x) added to another number (let's call it y) gives 25"

We can write this as:

3*x (3 times the first number)

+ y (added to another number)

= 25 (gives 25)

Writing this as an equation, we get:

3*x + y = 25

This is the equation we wanted.
