To solve the equation "ten subtracted from the product of a number and -3 is 29," we need to translate the given information into mathematical expressions.
Let's start by identifying the unknown number. Let's represent it as "x."
The product of a number and -3 can be expressed as "x * -3".
Then, we need to subtract ten from this product, which gives us "x * -3 - 10".
The resulting equation can be written as "x * -3 - 10 = 29".
To solve this equation, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation.
x * -3 - 10 = 29
-3x - 10 = 29
Step 2: Isolate the variable term.
-3x = 29 + 10
-3x = 39
Step 3: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -3.
x = 39 / -3
x = -13
So, the solution to the equation is x = -13.
