Question

If 95 is added to a number, the result is 35 less than three times the number. Find the number

Answer 1

i my view the answer should be 35

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

The required equation is,

95 + x = 3x - 35

We need to solve for x now.

95 + 35 = 3x - x (Transposition)

130 = 2x

2x = 130

x = 130 / 2

Therefore, the required number is 65.
