Three times a number increased by
twice the number is greater than
125. What is the number?

x > 25

Step-by-step explanation:

This question relates to algebra. We can solve this problem by creating a variable for the solution (which we will find). We will link the variable in an equation l with the information given.

So let's translate each piece of information mathematically. First, the question tells us "Three times a number." The first part uses multiplication (times) linked to our number (we will use x for our variable). So we write:

3x

The second part is "increased by twice the number" Increasing is adding (+) so we add two times the number. So:

3x + 2x

The final part says "is greater than 125"  so we need to use the > sign

3x + 2x > 125

Now we can solve by collecting like terms and moving them to a different side.

5x > 125

x > 25

3/6 or 1/2
