if 25 is added to three times a number the result is 70.find the number?
25 + 3x = 70
How do you think you'll solve this equation?
Cody, I've asked you similar questions before, and you haven't responded. Why?
you subtract 25 from each side of the equation to get 3x=45. then you divide each side by 3 to get x=15. your just undoing the math
To find the number, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number is represented by the variable "x."
According to the problem statement, "25 is added to three times a number [3x] and the result is 70." Mathematically, this can be written as:
3x + 25 = 70
Now, we can solve the equation by isolating the variable x.
Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation:
3x = 70 - 25
3x = 45
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 45/3
x = 15
Therefore, the number we're looking for is 15.
