If 10 is added to three times a number the result is 34.What is the number?
Answer
We will first create an equation for this problem.
10+3x=34
We now see according to the equation that 10 is being added to 3 times a number. Since we don't know the number we assume it to be a variable x. And all of this is equal to 34.
Now we will solve this equation.
We take 10 to the other side where it subtracts from 34 to give 24.
We then take the 3 and divide it on the other side to get 8.
