Question #5883f Algebra Expressions, Equations, and Functions Variable Expressions 1 Answer Patrick H. Nov 13, 2016 #c=-7# Explanation: 10 more than a number #c# would be the same as #c+10#. Since this would be equal to 3, we can create an expression, which is #c+10=3#. From here, we solve for #x#. We'll subtract 10 form each side to get our answer, #c=-7#: #c+10-10=3-10# #c=-7# Answer link Related questions How do you write the variable expression for: a quotient of 2 and the sum of a number and 3 ?
