Question

Three more than six times a number is 51. What is the number?

Answer 1

First, we need to set up an equation.

The "is" represents an equal sing. The 51 will be set on the right side of the equal sing. On the left, we will the number equal to x and multiply the number by six, referencing the "six times", and adding three, referencing, "three more". The equation becomes:

6x + 3 = 51 Solve for x

6x = 48

x = 8

The answer is 8.
