Question

If we subtract 22 from three times a number we get 68 find the number. I want with full explanation

Answer 1

According to question it is given that three times a number minus 22 so let us take the unknown number be 'x' therefore 3 times of it will be 3x now minus 22 that is 2x-22=68
so:-3x=68+22=90
:-x=90÷3
x=30

Answer 2

Heya Friend !!

Let the number be x
Given- three times a number means 3 x
Difference - 68

ATQ ,
3 x - 22 = 68
=> 3 x = 68 + 22
=> 3 x = 90
=> x = 90 / 3
=> x = 30

Hence , the required number is 30 .

Verification : -
=> 3 x - 22 = 68
=> (3 × 30) - 22 = 68
=> 90 - 22 = 68
=> 68 = 68
Therefore , LHS = RHS

hope it helps :)
