Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. A number is multiplied by6. The product is added to3. The sum is equal to the product of and19

STEP 2

Let's denote the unknown number as xx. The problem can be translated into the following equation6x+2=2times196x +2 =2 \\times19

STEP 3

Calculate the product on the right side of the equation.
2times19=382 \\times19 =38So, the equation becomes6x+2=386x +2 =38

STEP 4

To isolate xx, we first need to get rid of the "+2" on the left side of the equation. We do this by subtracting2 from both sides of the equation.
6x+22=3826x +2 -2 =38 -2

STEP 5

Perform the subtraction operation on both sides.
x=382=36x =38 -2 =36

STEP 6

Now, to solve for xx, we need to divide both sides of the equation by6.
x=366x = \frac{36}{6}

STEP 7

Perform the division operation to find the value of xx.
x=366=6x = \frac{36}{6} =6The number is6.
