A certain number is added to 6 and then divided by 10 the result is 3.find the number

1 answer

The algebraic equation that represents this situation is:

(x + 6) / 10 = 3

To solve for x, first multiply both sides of the equation by 10 to get rid of the denominator:

x + 6 = 30

Next, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

x = 24

Therefore, the number is 24.
