Question

You divide a number by 3 add 6 then subtract 7. The result is 4 what is the number?

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our number n. Here is the info we have.

(n/3)+6-7=4

We combine like terms.

(n/3)-1=4

We add 1 to both sides.

n/3=5

We multiply both sides by 3.

n=15.

Have a wonderful day! :D
