Question

How do you write the equation for "one more than three times a number is 7"?

Answer 1

The equation is: `3N+1=7`

The solution is: `2`

Explanation:

You say: "one more than three times a number is 7".

So we start with a number `N`.

Then we multiply it by `3` to get: `3N`

Then we increase it by `1` to get: `3N+1`

And we equal all of that to `7`: `3N+1=7to` [ANS}

Solving: `3N+1=7`

`3N+1-1=7-1`

`3N=6`

`N=6/3`

N=2

"one more than three times a number is 7".

"one more than three times N is 7".

"one more than three times `2` is `7"`.
