The product of 3 and a number is 12 more than the sum of the number and 26.
What is the number?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
you need to set up an equation for this which would be :
3x=x+26+12
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
now all you gotta do is solve for x, which is the same type of problem we have been doing, lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
try again for this one.
1. subtract the x on both sides
2. add 26 and 12
what is your new equation?

3+38?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
3x=x+26+12
-x -x
3x-x=2x (hint)
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
try again. i really want you to learn this concept :O
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so remove the x's form the question?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
3x=x+26+12
-x -x
you subtract x-x from the second side, which equals zero.
however, on the first side, you have 3x-x which is 2x

OpenStudy (dtan5457):
so now your new equation is.?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 3x-x =2x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x+26+12?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
yes but don't forget about the 26+12
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
what happened to the equal sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x=26+12?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OMG :O im right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im finally right?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
you made a whole step closer
now simplify 26+12 and solve for x

OpenStudy (dtan5457):
you still need to solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x=37
OpenStudy (anonymous):
38 sorry
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
so x=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=38
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
well no
2x=38
x=38???<how is that possible
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
divide everything by 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/38?
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
38/2
