Seven less than three times a number is ̶ 22. Find the number.
a)  ̶ 3      
b)  ̶ 5                      
c) 3        
d) 5

b



Seven more than three times a number is 31. Find the number.
a) 5        
b) 6                        
c) 7        
d) 8

d

Solution:Three time a number = 3x
7 more than 3x = 3x + 7 = 31
3x + 7 = 31            3x = 31  7           3x =  24                 x=    24/3x= 8



What is the value of variable in the given equation? (3x + 1= 7)
a) 8        
b) 6                        
c) 4        
d) 2

d

Solution:3x + 1 = 7
3x = 7 ̶ 1         3x = 6           x=6/3     x=2



If 5 is added to a number(x) then the number becomes 12. Find the number.
a) 7        
b) 17                      
c) 60      
d) 65

a

Solution:let the number is = x
x + 5 = 12---- (1)                   x= 12 ̶  5    x= 7
(now put x= 7 in equation (1) 12=12



If 9 is added to a number(x) then the number becomes 25. Find the number.
a) 34      
b) 16                      
c) 225    
d) 237

b



If 5 is subtracted from a number it becomes 13, find the number.
a) 4        
b) 8                        
c) 18      
d) 24
 

c

Solution:let the number is = x
x ̶  5 =13                        x= 13 + 5                       x= 18
