To solve this is really simple and easy needhelp!You just have to do step by step as the question says!and as u dont know the number you will assume it to be x and just do as the question says and that will give u ur answer!Let me show you!

Here we are assuming the munber to be x so....

i think of a number = x

i add 126 = x + 126 

i multiply by 19 = x + 126 * 19 

the answer is 46

x + 126 * 19 = 46  (now just solve this equation and you'll get your x or in other words you can say that u'll get ur number)

 

x + 126 * 19 = 46

x + 2394 = 46 

x=46 - 2394 

x= - 2,348  ANSWER

so we've got our x which is -2,348 

Now if you want me to show you the proof for the answer is correct then the proof is here

Here we have placed -2,348 in place of x as the number

-2,348 + 126 * 19 

=46 ANSWER

so now uve seen that our answer is correct!

I hope now uve understood but if not then pls be free to ask!

i hope this helps!

why don't you try this one for yourself?

Let the number be x and just work it like I worked the other one.

I'll help you if you get stuck!

Let the number be x

x+126

now put it in brackets and times it by 19

Then try a little by yourself.

I want to see you do some of it by yourself.

x-126*19=46

im going to try the inverse (46x19)+126=1000

(1000-126)*19=46

yes i got it
