Question

What number is 30 less than 3 times itself

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

To find the number that is 30 less than 3 times itself, you can set up an equation and solve for it.

Let's call the number "x." So, we have:

3x - 30

Now, we want this expression to equal a number:

3x - 30 = ?

To solve for x, we can set it equal to 30 less than 3 times itself:

3x - 30 = x

Now, let's isolate x:

3x - x = 30

2x = 30

Now, divide both sides by 2:

x = 30 / 2

x = 15

So, the number is 15.
