Question

You divide a number by 3 add 6 then subtract 7 the result is 4 what is the number

Answer 1

Hi there!

Your answer is:

x= 15

( x/3 ) +6 -7 = 4

(x/3) -1 = 4

+1

(x/3) = 5

× 3

x = 15

Plug back in!

does (15/3) +6 -7 = equal 4 ???

5 + 6-7 = 4

11-7 = 4

4 = 4 ✓

Hope this makes sense!
