Question

3 time a a number decreased by 2 is 4 find the equation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

3x-2=4

3x=4+2

3x=6

X=6/3

X=2

Check:

3(2)-2=4

6-2=4

4=4

Here LHS = RHS

Hence proved

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be x

3times of x=3x

According to the question three times of the number decreased by 2is 4

Then the equation is 3x-2=4

3x=4+2

3x=6

x=6÷3

x=2

for check:

2(3)-2=6-2=4(proved).
