The answer is 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let X represent the number your looking for, and write the equation out accordingly.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(x)+3=12 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+3=12
\n" ); document.write( "3x+3-3=12-3 subtract 3 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "3x=9 now divide both sides by 3 to get x alone\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x/3=9/3 x=3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plug it back into the equation to see if its the answer your looking for.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3)(3)+3=12
\n" ); document.write( "9+3=12
\n" ); document.write( "12=12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
