Question

Twenty-five more than seven times a number is 46 more than four times the number

Answer 1

I think the answer is 3

Answer 2

Let's say that $x$ is 'the number' we're talking about.  

More than means add
Times means multiply
Is means equal to

So all we have to do is set it up in an equation:

$25+7x=46+4x$

So now let's solve for $x$

Get all $x$s to one side:

$25+3x=46$

Now get all of the numbers to one side:

$3x=24$

Now let's solve for $x$:

$x=8$

So x=8
