Two is subtracted from a number and then the difference is divided by 3.The result is 30. What is the number?

Answer 1

Two is subtracted by a number:

n - 2

And then the difference is divided by 3:

(n - 2) / 3

The result is 30:

(n - 2) / 3 = 30

(n - 2 ) / 3 = 30

(n - 2) = 30 • 3

n - 2 = 90

n = 90 + 2

n = 92

The number is 92

Answer 2

Two is subtracted from a number and then the difference is divided by 3.The result is 30.

( x - 2 ) / 3 = 30

x-2 = 90 [multiply both sides by 3]

x = 92 [add 2 to both sides]

What is the number? 92
