Question

seven times the number is 36 less than 10 times the number.find the number

Answer 1

Let's say the number is x. Then the equation would be:

7x = 10x - 36

And we simplify:

-3x = -36

3x = 36

x = 12

The number is therefore 12.

I'd love it if you'd mark me brainliest!

=Seven times means 7x and less than 10 times the number means 10x - 7x.

Equation -:

3x= 36

x = 36 ÷ 3

x = 12
