Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be = x

Tripling this number we get = 3x

When I triple my number and subtract seven I get 83, we can write this mathematically as;

$3x-7=83$

Solving for x, we get;

$=> 3x=83+7$

$=> 3x=90$

$=> x = 90/3$

x = 30

Hence, my number is 30.
