Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number. find the number

Let the number be x. "Three times a number increased by 10" is mathematically translated as

3x + 10

"is equal" is mathematically translated as twenty less than six times the number" is mathematically translated as

6x - 20

The whole sentence "Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number" is translated as

3x + 10 = 6x - 20

We now solve the above linear equation to find the number x

3x - 6x = - 20 - 10

- 3x = - 30

x = 10

Check answer

Three times a number increased by ten : 3 × 10 + 10 = 40

Twenty less than six times the number : 6 × 10 - 20 = 40
