Question

The sum of a number and twenty-six, divided by twelve is equal to seven! Please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

1. let x be the unknown number

2. make an expression

x + 26/12 = 7/1

3. cross multiply

x +26 × 1 = x + 26

12 × 7  = 84

 x + 26 = 84

4. move variables on one side and numbers on other side of the equal sign

x + 26 = 84

   - 26    -26

x = 58
