Question

BRAINLIEST ANSWER!! The product of 3, and a number increased by seven, is -36. Translate the equation, then solve.

Answer 1

Product is multiplication.

Let the number = x

3 *( X+7) = -36

Use distributive property:

3x +21 = -36

Subtract 21 from each side:

3x = -57

Divide both sides by 3:

x = -57 /3

x = -19

Check: 3 * (-19 +7) = 3 * -12 = -36

The number is -19
