when the number is multiplied by 3, the result is the same as that of adding 34 to the number.
find x
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equation is:
3 * x = x + 34
subtract x from both sides of this equation to get:
2 * x = 34
divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:
x = 17
that should be your answer.
when x = 17, 3 * x = 3 * 17 = 51 and x + 34 = 17 + 34 = 51.
this confirms the solution is correct.
