If three times a number is increased by 24 , the result is six times the same number

Answer 1

If n represents the unknown number, the equation would be written as: 3n + 24 = 6n

To solve for n:

3n + 24 = 6n

-3n -3n

____________ [subtract 3n on both sides]

24 = 3n

[divide both sides by 3]

8=n
