26 - 5 = 21

21 / 3 = 7

The correct answer is:


Her number is 7.


Explanation:


Let x represent her number.


She triples her number; this is represented by 3x.


She then adds 5 to this; this gives us 3x+5.


She gets 26 aas her answer. This gives us the equation:

3x+5 = 26


To solve this, first subtract 5 from each side:


3x+5-5 = 26-5

3x = 21


Divide each side by 3:

3x/3 = 21/3

x = 7
