2. When I add 7 to three times my number I get 43. My mystery number is....

Answer :

Answer:

1) 6 & 2)12

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equations backwards-

1) Subtract 6 from 36, and then divide by 5.

36 = 6 + 5x

(36 - 6)/5 = x

x = 6

2) Subtract 7 from 43, and then divide by 3.

43 = 7 + 3y

(43 - 7)/3 = y

y = 12
