When 100 is added to a number the result is 50 more than 3 times the number . Find the number

Let N="a number"

"When 100 is added to a number the result is 50 more than 3 times the number"

translates to

100+N=50+3N

Solve for N.

25

50

To find the number, let's set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's assume the number we need to find is represented by the variable "x".

According to the problem, when 100 is added to the number, the result is 50 more than 3 times the number. So, we can write this as an equation:

x + 100 = 3x + 50

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable "x" on one side of the equation. Let's subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:

x - 3x + 100 = 3x - 3x + 50

Simplifying both sides of the equation:

-2x + 100 = 50

Next, let's subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:

-2x + 100 - 100 = 50 - 100

Simplifying both sides of the equation again:

-2x = -50

To solve for "x", we need to isolate it. Let's divide both sides by -2:

(-2x)/(-2) = (-50)/(-2)

Simplifying both sides of the equation:

x = 25

Therefore, the number we're looking for is 25.
