1: Triple the quantity of a number “n” plus 4 equals 27. what would the expression look like?
[ Triple the quantity of a number “n” ] 3n
[ plus 4 ] + 4
[ equals 27 ] = 27
[ all together ] 3n + 4 = 27
Solving:
[ given ] 3n + 4 = 27
[ subtract 4 from both sides ] 3n = 23
[ divide both sides by 3 ] n = 7 [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
2:Seventeen equals seven less than three times a number “n” what would the expression look like?
[ Seventeen equals ] 17 =
[ seven less than ] - 7
[ three times a number “n” ] 3n
[ all together ] 17 = 3n - 7
Solving:
[ given ] 17 = 3n - 7
[ add 7 to both sides ] 24 = 3n
[ divide both sides by 3 ] 8 = n
Have a nice day!
