Question

I think of a number, multiply it by three, And add four. I get 22, solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer: 6 x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to subtract the number 4 from 22 because we have to add four. Then, we get 18, right?

Divide the number 18 by 3 because you multiply by 3.

18 ÷ 3 = 6

The answer is 6 x 3. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

1. Write it out: 3x + 4 = 22
2. Subtract 4 from each side, so it now looks like this: 3x = 18
3. Divide each side by 3 to cancel out the 3 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 6

I hope this helps!
