6
The number works out as 14
The number is 32 because (2*32) -8 = 56
Twenty more than twice a number is 52
5
2n-4
To solve the equation "Eight less than twice a number is fourteen," we can express it mathematically as ( 2x - 8 = 14 ), where ( x ) is the number. Adding 8 to both sides gives ( 2x = 22 ). Dividing both sides by 2 results in ( x = 11 ). Therefore, the number is 11.
Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
Let the number be represented by ( x ). According to the problem, if the sum of the number and five is tripled, it can be expressed as ( 3(x + 5) ). This is equal to eight less than twice the number, or ( 2x - 8 ). Setting up the equation, we have ( 3(x + 5) = 2x - 8 ). Solving this gives ( x = -1 ).
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
11
twice a number can be 2x and six less than it is 2x-6.
Anything less than or equal to 74. 37, for example, goes into 74 twice, and 74 goes into itself once.
