Problema Solution

four more than three times a number is that number increased by 24

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'x' be the number we are looking for.


4 + 3 * x = x + 24

3 * x - x = 24 - 4

2*x = 20

x = 20 / 2


x = 10


Indeed 4 + 3*10 = 34 = 10 + 24.


The number we are looking for is 10.
