Answer:

x=9   :))

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up your equation.

"3 times" is multiplication

"THE SUM of A NUMBER and seven" that is parenthesis because of the multiplication before it

"is increased by ten" that is an addition at the end

Now we have 3(x+7)+10=4

Solve your equation!

Distribute the 3 now we have 3x+21+10=4

Add like terms

now it should look like this... 3x+31=4

Subtract 31 from both sides and it looks like...

3x=27

Divide by the x-value

x=9
