The number is 7.
This forms an equation which solves nicely: 2x-7 = x-1 x-7 = -1 x = 6
The greatest prime number less than 20 is 19. Not sure what "then twice" is unless you are wanting to double it, which becomes 38.
2x + 7 = 15 Subtract 7 from both sides: 2x = 8 Divide both sides by 2: x = 4

Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
2k - 7
2x - 7 = -1
The number is 7.
If the number is N then 2N - 5 = 7 then 2N = 12 so that N = 6
This forms an equation which solves nicely: 2x-7 = x-1 x-7 = -1 x = 6
5+5=1010-7=3the answer is 3
2n-3=(-7) 2n=-4 n=-2
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!!
The greatest prime number less than 20 is 19. Not sure what "then twice" is unless you are wanting to double it, which becomes 38.
2x + 7 = 15 Subtract 7 from both sides: 2x = 8 Divide both sides by 2: x = 4
the equation is 2x + 4 = x - 3 solving it yields x = -7
