In this problem, we're going to read a sentence and translate that sentence into an equation.
00:07
We'll solve that equation to find the solution and the number that we're looking for for this problem.
00:15
Now, this problem is, it starts out with 10 more than.
00:19
Now, 10 more than is to take something and add 10 to it.
00:23
So now we've got to figure out what goes before this plus 10.
00:27
It says one third of a number.
00:30
So a number would be just x.
00:32
We don't know what that number is.
00:34
And one -third of it would be one -third times x.
00:38
So one -third times x plus 10.
00:41
Now it says is the same as this means equal to is equal to something else.
00:47
It says a number decreased by two.
00:49
So take a number, which we'll still call x the same number, and decrease by two means to subtract two from it...
