Find the “number” for each of the following by first writing, then solving the equation: when eleven is added to a number , the result is forty-one.
Let x be the number.
The equation is: x + 11 = 41
To solve for x, we first subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:
x + 11 - 11 = 41 - 11
x = 30
Therefore, the number is 30.
