Bot Jill is thinking of a number. Four more than three times the number is thirteen. What is the number? Jill's number is blank
Let's solve this math problem step by step.
Let's assume the number Jill is thinking of as 'x'.
According to the problem, four more than three times the number is thirteen, meaning 3x + 4 = 13.
To isolate the variable, we need to subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 4 - 4 = 13 - 4
3x = 9
To find the value of 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = 9/3
x = 3
So, Jill's number is 3.
