Answer 1

1. Circle the numbers, box the variables, and underline the signs to get the following equation: 7 + 3n = 43.
2. Numbers: Seven (7), three (3), forty-three (43)
3. Variable: A number (n)
4. Signs: Added to (+), times (x), equal to (=)
5. Subtract 7 on each side to get the following: 3n = 36.
6. 7 - 7 = 0
7. 43 - 7 = 36
8. Divide by 12 on each side to get the following: n = 12.
9. 3n ÷ 3 = n
10. 36 ÷ 3 = 12

Answer: The number is 12.
