5+5=10
10-7=3
the answer is 3
blah
Let 'x' represent "the number": 2x - 7 = -147 Solving: 2x = -140 x = -70
Given a number N, you would have: 2*N - 5
2n-10
twice a number can be 2x and six less than it is 2x-6.
blah
It's seven
The answer is 11 !
Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
Example:VERBAL SENTENCE:Seven more than twice a number is four less than thrice the number.MATHEMATICAL EQUATION:(seven more than) (four less than)(twice a number) is (thrice a number)2x + 7 = 3x - 4=Earljoyce8♥=Hope this helps!!
This forms an equation which solves nicely: 2x-7 = x-1 x-7 = -1 x = 6
If the number is n then twice the number is 2n and 7 less than twice the number is 2n - 7This could also be a boolean variable based on another variable. If the number is less than or equal to 3.5, the variable is false. Otherwise, it is true.
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).
One less than twice a number = (X times 2) minus 1, (where X = your number of choice).
