Question 127984
the quotient of three times a number and five is increased by four, the result is 34.
let number be {{{x}}}, then we have:

{{{3x/5 + 4 = 34}}}.........multiply both sides by {{{5}}}

{{{(3x/5)*5 + 4*5 = 34*5}}}

{{{3x + 20 = 170}}}

{{{3x = 170 -20}}}

{{{3x = 150}}}..........divide both sides by {{{3}}}

{{{3x/3 = 150/3}}}

{{{x = 50}}}
