Question

Two is subtracted from a number, and then the difference is divided by 3. The result is 30. Find the number.

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the equation we can write.

(n-2)/3=30

We multiply both sides by 3.

n-2=90

We add 2 to both sides.

n=92.

Have a wonderful day! :D
