Question

the sum of 3 times a number and 11 is 32. find the numbet​

Answer 1

Given:

• Sum of three times a number and 11 is 32.

To find:

• The number.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

So, the equation formed;

$\implies \sf{3x + 11 = 32}$

$\implies \sf{3x = 32-11}$

$\implies \sf{3x = 21}$

$\implies \sf{x = \dfrac{21}{3}}$

$\dag {\boxed {\bf {\red {x = 7}}}}$

Verification:

LHS = 3x+11

RHS = 32

Substitute the value of x as 7 in the equation,

$\implies \sf{3x + 11 = 32}$

$\implies \sf{3 \times 7 + 11 = 32}$

$\implies \sf{21 + 11 = 32}$

$\implies \sf{32 = 32}$

LHS = RHS

Hence Verified!

The original number:

The original number is 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x.

11 + 3x = 32

3 x = 32 - 11

3x = 21

x = 21 / 3

= 7

x = 7

...the sum of 3 times a 7 and 11 is 32.

number = 7
