Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
3
Discussion:
34 + 2x = 40 => subtract 34 from both sides
(34-34) + 2x = 40 - 34 => as (34-34) = 0 and 40-34 = 6
2x = 6 => divide both sides by 2
x = 6/2 = 3
Check the answer:
Does 34 + 2x = 40 if x = 3 ?
Does 34 + 2(3) = 40 ?
Does 34 + 6 = 40 ? YES! so the answer checks.
Thank you,
MrB
First of all be more spusific in your question
The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7
We can put it together:
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7 /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84
The number you are looking for is 84.
