A + 2a = 3a
n + 2n = 3n
twice a number means a number times 2
composite number
Yes, the word twice is an adverb. e.g. I played the game twice. (number of times)
Suppose you start with x. Twice x is 2x. Three less than that is 2x-3 So 2x-3 = x Add 3 to both sides: 2x = x + 3 Subtract 1x from both sides: x = 3. You started with 3.
2x+x=3x
n + 2n = 3n
twice the difference of three times a number and eight
2x - 16 = 3x/18
It is: 3x = 2x+8 and the value of x is 8
3
let the number be n. Then: 2n = 3n ⇒ 2n - 2n = 3n - 2n ⇒ 0 = n ie, the number is zero.
To solve the equation "twice the number plus seven is equal to three less than four times the number," we can express it mathematically as ( 2x + 7 = 4x - 3 ). By rearranging the equation, we get ( 7 + 3 = 4x - 2x ), leading to ( 10 = 2x ). Dividing both sides by 2 gives ( x = 5 ). Thus, the number is 5.
There are two possible (and different) answers: 2x + 3y = 12 or 2*(x + 3y)= 12 The first one is (twice a number) increased by (three times another) The second is twice (a number increased by (three times another)).
three times a number decreased by eleven
The answer is 42
2*(x + 21) = 3*abs(x - 5) => x = -5.4 or x = 57.
