the quotient of twice a number and six is.... 2x/6 four less than three times the same number is .... 3x-4 So the equation would be 2x/6=3x-4
2x = 3x - 22x - 3x = -2-x = -2x = 2Therefore, the number is 2.
2x - 4 = 6x -4 = 4x x = -1
The equation would be as follows: 4x=2x-14 2x=14 x=7
Nine less than twice a number equals the same number increased by four?
One less than twice a number = (X times 2) minus 1, (where X = your number of choice).
9+4x=2x-1 2x=-10 x=-5
"One less than four times a number" refers to an expression in algebra. If we let the number be represented by a variable, say ( x ), then "four times a number" is ( 4x ). Therefore, "one less than four times a number" can be written as ( 4x - 1 ). This expression indicates that you take four times the value of ( x ) and then subtract one from it.
Let the number be x and so the expression is 4x -3
2x + 4 < x x < -4
