Answer 1

Question :

if the quotient of three times a number and four is decreased by three, the result is nine. whats the number

Answer :

Trevor,

number = x

(3x÷ 4) - 3 = 9

Use a common denominator 4: 3x - 12 = 36

3x = 48

x = 16

Does it fit the original equation?

[(3 x 16) ÷ 4] -3 = (48 ÷ 4) -3 = 12 - 3 = 9

Hope it helps
