Question

i think of a number take away 1 and multiply 3 to the result (algebra) what is x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let no=X

(x-1)3

3x-3

and=3x-3

Answer 2

Given,

1 is taken away from a number and the result is multiplied by 3.

To find,

The algebraic expression using x.

Solution,

The algebraic expression using x will be 3(x-1).

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

Now, to write the algebraic expression we will first need to understand the different words in the given question.

The word, 'take away', means to subtract from the number, x. And the word, 'multiply', is to be replaced by its sign.

So, we have the expression when we think of a number and take away 1:

(x-1)

Now, 3 is multiplied to it, we have

3(x-1)

Hence, the algebraic expression using x is 3(x-1).
