Question

A number is multiplied by 7, and then the product is added to 13. The result is 55. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer is 6 (if the product is the answer of the original number being multiplied by Seven then added to thirteen)

Answer 2

You know that your final total is 55, so you’re going to subtract the added 13
(55-13)=42
Since you multiplied 42 by 7 to reverse the effect you will need to divide by 7 now
42/7=6
