Let the unknown number be x.
ReplyDeleteThe number is multiplied by 3, then 7 is added:
3x + 7
The number is doubled, then increased by 10:
2x + 10
These two expressions are equal:
3x + 7 = 2x + 10
Solving for x:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
x + 7 = 10
Subtract 7 from both sides:
x = 3
So, the number is 3.
