Answer 1

Given : Three times of a number increased by 2 is equal to one less than four times the number.

To find : The said number.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to determine the said number)

Let, the number = x

According to the data mentioned in the question,

(3 × x) + 2 = (4 × x) - 1

3x + 2 = 4x - 1

4x - 1 = 3x + 2

4x - 3x = 2 + 1

x = 3

So, the said number = x = 3

(This will be considered as the final result of the given mathematical problem.)

Hence, the said number is 3
