Question

Julio says, "If you subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by - 3, the result is - 36." What is Julio's number? ​

Answer 1

Julio’s number is 29

Explanation:

(x - 17) · -3 = -36

x - 17 = 12

x = 29

Check:

29 - 17 = 12 · -3 = -36

Answer 2

It would be 29, to solve this, you just have to reverse everything that was said, so there you would divide -36 by 3 and add 17
