20 less than 2 times a number is 40 = 2x - 20 = 40
Let x = the number
2 times a number = 2x
20 less than = - 20
is 40: =40
Translating it into mathematical symbols :2x - 20 = 40
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. ]
If you multiply a number by 0.8, the result is 20% less than the original number.
The prime number that is greater than 20 but less than 29 is 23.
300+20+8 is 10 less than what number
Four less than a number and three is the number less one.
One
8, 8 times 4 = 32 32-12 = 20
The correct answer is 20.
The answer is 10. 3 x 10 = 30 30 - 10 = 20
There is no such number. The maximum number of times that any number appear is 4.
The number that 30 is ten less than is 40. Half that is 20. So the question becomes "what number is as much more than 10 is less than 20". This is gobbledygook, but if I rephrase to say "what number is as much more than 10 than 10 is less than 20", then since10 is less than 20 by 10, I guess 20.
If you multiply a number by 0.8, the result is 20% less than the original number.
The prime number that is greater than 20 but less than 29 is 23.
'5' & '15' are odd numbers less than 20 , and are also multiples of '5'.
Let the number be x: 7x-6 = -20 7x = -20+6 7x = -14 x = -2
To compare -20 and 14, a positive number (in this case, 14), is always greater than any negative number.
300+20+8 is 10 less than what number
