Problema Solution
if two is added to a number and sum is tripled, the result is 8 more then the number. find the number
Answer provided by our tutors
let phrase "added to a number and sum is tripled" is not clear... we interpret this to me "if 2 is added to a number and that sum is tripled"
let 'n' represent the number, then:
3(n+2) = n+ 8
solving for 'n' we have n=1
the number is 1 if we are interpreting the problem statement correctly
