Question

Two is subtracted from a number and then the difference is divided by three the result is 30 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 92$

Explanation:

The equation is:

$\frac{x-2}{3} = 30$

To get rid of the denominator, multiply both sides by 3. Then you have:

$x-2=90$

To get x alone on one side, add 2 to both sides. Then you have:

$x=92$
