To write the equation based on the given statement, let the number be represented by ( x ). The phrase "20 decreased by two times a number" translates to ( 20 - 2x ), and "10 less than three times the number" translates to ( 3x - 10 ). Therefore, the equation is:
[ 20 - 2x = 3x - 10. ]
The equation can be expressed as: ( 9 - 3x = 5(y + 5) ), where ( x ) is the unknown number being decreased and ( y ) is the unknown number being summed with five. This states that nine decreased by three times ( x ) is equal to five times the sum of ( y ) and five.
The equation for this would be 6n - 2.
Thirty decreased by three times a number is six less than three times the number. Find the number.
Let the number be represented as ( x ). The equation can be expressed as ( 30 - 3x = 3x - 6 ). By solving this equation, we add ( 3x ) to both sides to get ( 30 = 6x - 6 ), and then add 6 to both sides to obtain ( 36 = 6x ). Dividing by 6 gives ( x = 6 ).

The equation can be expressed as: ( 9 - 3x = 5(y + 5) ), where ( x ) is the unknown number being decreased and ( y ) is the unknown number being summed with five. This states that nine decreased by three times ( x ) is equal to five times the sum of ( y ) and five.
Answer = 7 - 3n
let x=the number 87-3*(x)>165
three times a number decreased by eleven
The number is 26
The equation for this would be 6n - 2.
3x+32=4x-15 3x-4x=-15-32 x=-47
the equation of that would be 4x-5 if that's what your looking for
6n - 3n which simplifies to 3n.
Thirty decreased by three times a number is six less than three times the number. Find the number.
