Question 141830
Pick a number
{{{x}}}
Multiply the number by 12
{{{12x}}}
Add 12 to the product
{{{12x+12}}}
Divide the sum by 4
{{{(12x+12)/4}}}
Subtract 3 from the quotient
{{{(12x+12)/4-3}}}
{{{(12x+12)/4-3=(12x)/4+12/4-3}}}
{{{(12x+12)/4-3=3x+3-3}}}
{{{(12x+12)/4-3=3x}}}
Your final number will be 3 times your original number.
