Let n be the number. Because the equation is not mathematically properly represented, it could be 6n-7 = 17, or it could be 6(n-7) = 17. Brackets are used in mathematics to avoid confusion like this.
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. ]
50-8n
6 - 3x
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.

When 3 times a number is decreased by 4 the result is 17. what is the number?
Then the number is 20.5
Then the number is 20
The number is 4
It depends on how the statement is read. If there's a pause after 'three', it's... (n - 3)(n + 8) Otherwise, it's... n - 3(n + 8)
The number is 26
three times a number decreased by eleven
Answer = 7 - 3n
50-8n
2x - 6
6 - 3x
6n - 3n which simplifies to 3n.
