Answer:
The number is 135.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Form an equation
Three is subtracted from a number
⇒ [tex]x-3[/tex] (where x is "the number")
The difference is divided by 11
⇒ [tex]\displaystyle \frac{x-3}{11}[/tex]
The result is 12
⇒ [tex]\displaystyle \frac{x-3}{11}=12[/tex]
2) Solve the equation
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x-3}{11}=12[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 11
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x-3}{11}*11=12*11\\\\x-3=132[/tex]
Add 3 to both sides
[tex]x-3+3=132+3\\x=135[/tex]
Therefore, the number is 135.
I hope this helps!
