Question 1006037
<i>If you take a number and add a zero to the right and subtract the result from 143, you’ll get three times the original number. What is the number?</i>


Maybe a better sensible way to say is,


<i>If you take a number and --multiply it by 10 -- and subtract the result from 143, you’ll get three times the original number. What is the number?</i>


Original Number, p.
{{{143-10*p=3p}}}
