Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Let our number be x.
<u>1) 3 is added to this number.</u>
<u>2) It is multiplied by 4.</u>
<u>3) It is equated to 20.</u>
∴ This is our framed equation.
Steps to solve :
<u>1) Divide by 4 on both sides.</u>
- 1/4 x 4(x + 3) = 20/4
- x + 3 = 5
<u>2) Subtract 3 on both sides.</u>
∴ The number is 2.
