Four less than the product of seven and a
number is seventeen. What is the number?


Sagot :

hello!

=============================================

First of all, let the number be u.

The product of 7 and u means you should multiply 7 times u:

[tex]\pmb{7u}[/tex]

Now, subtract 4:

[tex]\pmb{7u-4}[/tex]

This expression equals 17:

[tex]\pmb{7u-4=17}[/tex]

[tex]\rule{200}{2}[/tex]

[Now, let's Find the Value of u]

First, add 4 to both sides:

[tex]\pmb{7u=21}[/tex]

Now, divide both sides by 7:

[tex]\pmb{u=3}[/tex]
