Question

If you triple a number and add 11 you get 200 what is the number

Answer 1

You can set up a simple algebraic equivalent to find a number equivalent to 200 after being multiplied by 3 and added 11 to.

3x+11=200
3x=189
x=63

Answer 2

Well let's work backwards to find out! Okay so subtract 11 from 200 (because you added 11) then you got 189 know and then you would divide the number by 3 (because you tripled it) so 189÷3=63 so let's try it with 63.



63 tripped is 189, 11 added to 189 is 200

So know know that it works we know it's our answer. 63
