Question

30 exceeds three times a number by 89 what is the number

Answer 1

19.66

Explanation:

Let x represent our unknown number

Okay so it's basically saying that 30 is greater than 3x by 89

We would represent that mathematically by:

30 - 89 = 3x

So then we just solve this like we usually would

30 - 89 = -59

-59
`/` 3 = 19.666. . .

Hope this helps:)
