thu wants to play "guess my number".she states,"when i triple my number and add five,i get twenty-six. what's my number?" what is her number?

Respuesta :

The number is 7. x is the number.

3x+5=26 Create the equation.

3x+5-5=26-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 3x.

3x=21

3x/3=21/3 Divide by 3 to get x by itself.

x=7
