Answer 2

The number is 12

GIVEN:- 10 added to thrice a whole number gives 46

TO FIND:- the number

SOLUTION:-

• Added implies plus (+)
• Thrice implies multiplied by 3 (×3)
• Given means output

According to the question,

Let the number be x

$10 + (x \times 3) = 46 \\ 10 + 3x = 46$

When we shift any number or variable from one side to another then the sign changes

$3x = 46 - 10 \\ 3x = 36$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{36}{3} \\ x = 12$

Hence, the number is 12
