Alright, buckle up, buttercup. The equation you're looking for is 2x - 8 = 42. So, if you solve for x, you'll find out that the number you're looking for is 25. Math doesn't have to be a pain in the butt if you just tackle it head-on!

3a-6x2
I'm not clear on what you're asking here, but if you want that written as an equation, it is: 2x - 3
the quotient of twice a number and six is.... 2x/6 four less than three times the same number is .... 3x-4 So the equation would be 2x/6=3x-4
This forms an equation which solves nicely: 2x-7 = x-1 x-7 = -1 x = 6

2x-15 = 53
The number works out as 14
2n-4
2x - 7 = -1
It works out as: y = x-6
3a-6x2
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!!
That problem can be set up in the following equation: 2x-8=40 where 'x' represents the "number".First, add 8 to both sides to make get the x term alone. Then, divide by 2 to solve for x.The answer ends up to be 24.
32-2x < 18
twice an unknown number less one and one-half times the same number equals two ---- Let the unknown number be "x":: Equation: 2x - (3/2)x = 2
The verbal expression that represents the algebraic expression 2x-8 is "twice a number decreased by 8." In this expression, "2x" represents twice the value of a variable "x," and "-8" indicates that 8 is being subtracted from that value. Therefore, "twice a number decreased by 8" accurately describes the algebraic expression 2x-8.
