Question

seven times a number subtracted from 29 gives 43. find the number.

Answer 1

Define x:

Let the number be x

Form the equation and solve x:

29 - 7x  = 43

Take away 29 from both sides:

-7x = 14

Divide both sides by -7:

x = -2

Answer: The number is -2.

Answer 2

Hey There!

Sheena Here!

So, Your question: Seven times a number subtracted from 29 gives 43. find the number.

So In this question we have to solve it by taking a Variable.

So, Let the number be x

Seven times the number of x = 7x

Our equation will be:

29- 7x = 43

Now lets solve it!

29-43=7x

-14 = 7x

-14/7 = x

-2 = x

So the number is -2.

But in the question we are asked about the 7 times of the number so, that would be

7x= -2*7

= -14

So, the 7 times of the number is -14

Verification:

29-7x= 43

29-(-14)= 43
