Answer:the answer is 82.9
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to multiply
The variable is "the number". To make it easier to write the equation
and work with it, let's call the variable 'M' for '<em>M</em>ystery number'.
3 times the number is 3M .
-- 10 less than that is <u>3M-10</u> .
-- the number plus 4 is <u>M+4</u> .
The question says that these two things are the same.
So ...
<u>3M - 10 = M + 4</u>
Subtract 'M' from each side: 2M - 10 = 4
Add 10 to each side: 2M = 14
Divide each side by 2 : <em>M = 7 </em>
