Question

the number x is divided by 12 if 3is now added to this number the result is 14 what is the value of the number x​

Answer 1

132

Explanation:

`(x)/(12)+3=14`

Subtract 3 (from both sides of the equation, of course).

`(x)/(12)=11`

To "undo" the division, multiply by 12.

`12\cdot(x)/(12)=11(12)\\x=132`
