Question

13 subtracted from twice a number gives 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

13 subtracted from twice a number gives 3.

Let the number is x.

Twice of the number will be 2x.

13 subtracted from the twice of the number will be 2x - 13

According to question,13 subtracted from the twice of the number gives 3

Or, 2x- 13= 3

Or, 2x- 13= 3Or, 2x = 3+ 13

(taking 13 to the R.H.S. of the equation, it add with 3 as it is substracted with 2x in L.H.S.)

Or, 2x = 16

Or, 2x = 16Or, x= 16/2

( As 2 is multiplied, it is divided with 16 we it moves to R.H.S.)

Or, x= 8.

Conclusion:.

The value of x is found to be 8.
