I thought of a number. I added 3 to it, and then divided the result by 7, and I got 11. What was my number?

Answer:

74

Explanation:

let's say that your number is x


x\\\\x+3\\\\(x+3)/(7) \\\\=11

so we have


(x+3)/(7)=11\\\\7*(x+3)/(7)=11*7\\\\x+3=77\\\\x+3-3=77-3\\\\x=74

so your number was 74
