Question

If a number is tripled it gives the same result as when 28 is added to it find the number please show me step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

so , triple the number = 3 times x=3x

which is equal to , when 28 is added to it = x +28

therefore , 3x=x+28

                 3x-x=28

                2x=28

                x=28/2

                x = 14

VERIFICATION:

3 x 14 = 42

14 + 28 = 42

thus 42 = 42

hence proved
