Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".
set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:
3x-4=x+10
next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:
2x-4=10
then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:
2x=14
finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:
x=7.
The number is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
well, the first solution that comes to my mind is :
8/4 + 5/1 = 7/1
2 + 5 = 7
the reason : the only numerator I can "cut" into integer pieces is 8.
5 and 7 are prime numbers.
so, it tried to keep 5 and 7 whole, and then add a part of 8 to make this equation true. and that worked right away.

Find X:
38=(3x+4)+(5x-6)
combine like terms
38=8x-2
add 2 to both sides
40=8x
divide both sides by 8
5=x
Find AB:
16=3x+4
subtract 4 from both sides
12=3x
divide by 3
4=x
Find BC:
16=5x-6
add 6 to both sides
22=5x
divide both sides by 5
