Let the number be "x".
Multiply by 4 to get 4x
Subtract 7 to get 4x-7
Divide by 3 to get (4x-7)/3
Result is 7:
Equation:
(4x-7)/3 = 7
4x-7 = 21
4x = 28
x = 7

x
by 4
4x
then subtract 7 from that product
4x-7
finally the result is divided by 3.
the result is 7.
= 7
Multiply both sides by 3
4x-7 = 21
Add 7 to both sides
4x = 28
Divide both sides by 4
x = 7
