If 4 is added to a number and the sum is multiplied by 3,the result is 30.Find the number.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the unknown number.
If 4 is added to the number, then algebraically, this can be expressed as: n + 4.
If this sum is multiplied by 3, then, algebraically, we can express this as:
3(n + 4). If this product is, in turn, equal to 30, then we can write the following equation and solve for n:
3(n + 4) = 30
To solve for n, we need to isolate n on the left side of the above equation, and we begin doing this by dividing both sides of the equation by 3 as follows:
[3(n + 4)]/3 = 30/3
(3/3)(n + 4) = 10
(1)(n + 4) = 10
n + 4 = 10
Now, we finish isolating n on the left, thus solving for n, by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
n + 4 - 4 = 10 - 4
n + 0 = 6
n = 6
CHECK:
Replacing n with 6 in the original equation, we get:
3(n + 4) = 30
3(6 + 4) = 30
3(10) = 30
30 = 30
Therefore, n = 6 is indeed the desired, unknown number.

Answer:
see friend,
Step-by-step explanation:
1st thing in these type of question which we must do is make an equation
let the no. be x
eq= (x+4) × 3 = 30
therefore x+4 = 30/3 =10
so x = 10- 4=6
so the number is 6 (ans)
