Question

Fifteen more than 3 times a number is 33. What is the equation and solve

Answer 1

X=6 so the answer is six

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

15 more represents “+15”

3 times a number represents “3*x” which is written as “3x”

So fifteen more than 3 times a number is 33 would be written as;

3x + 15 = 33

Now solve for x using algebra;

3x = 33 - 15

3x = 18

x = 18 / 3

x = 6

Hope this helps!
