Chapter 2: Problem 4

Translate each statement into an equation and then solve the equation for the unknown number. The sum of an unknown number and 378 is 2841.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: 2463

Step by step solution

01

Translate the statement into an equation

Represent the unknown number with a variable, say 'x'. Write the statement as an equation: x + 378 = 2841.
02

Solve the equation for the unknown number (x).

We want to get x by itself on one side of the equation. To do that, subtract 378 from both sides of the equation: x + 378 - 378 = 2841 - 378. This simplifies to x = 2463. So, the unknown number is x = 2463.
