Answer 1

Question

When I triple a certain number and add 2, I get the same number as I do when I subtract the number from 50. Find the number.

____________________________

Answer

Let that number be ⇒ x  

To solve this we will form this equation ⇒ 3x + 2 = 50 - x

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3x + 2 = 50 - x

Step 1: Add 'x' to both sides of the equation.

⇒ 3x + 2 + x = 50 - x + x

⇒ 4x + 2 = 50

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

⇒ 4x + 2 - 2 = 50 - 2

⇒ 4x = 48

Step 3: Divide 4 from both sides of the equation.

⇒ 4x ÷ 4 = 48 ÷ 4

⇒ x = 12

∴ The required number is 12.

Answer 2

A N S W E R :

• The certain number of x is 12

Given :

• Triple a certain number and add 2, i get the same answer as i do when i substract the number from 50

To find :

• Find the certain number ?

Solution :

• Let that the certain number be x

=> 3x + 2 = 50 - x

=> 3x + x = 50 - 2

=> 4x = 48

=> x = 48/4

=> x = 12

Hence,

• The certain number of x is 12
