Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

number is represented as x.

81 is added to a number is

81 + x

39 less than three times the number

3x - 39

So

81 + x = 3x - 39

Solve for x.

81 + x = 3x - 39 Add 39 to each side so 39 cancels on the right.

81 + x + 39 = 3x - 39 + 39

81 + x + 39 = 3x

81 + 39 + x = 3x

120 + x = 3x Subtract x from each side.

120 + x - x = 3x - x

120 = 3x - x

120 = 2x    Divide each side by 2

120/2 = 2x/2

120/2 = x

60 = x
