Question

32 is 4 more than 2 times a number

Answer 1

Answer:-

Let the number be : x

If it is 2 times multiplied and 4 added, it becomes : 32

According to the Question:

2x + 4 = 32 (Equation Formation)

=>2x = 32- 4 (4 moved to Right hand side and its sign changed)

=> 2x = 28 (Subtraction of 32 from 4)

=> x = 28/2 (Multiplication by x, changed into division with 28. Moving into right hand side)

=> x = 14

REQUIRED ANSWER:

The number is 14.

Answer 2

The given question is 32 is 4 more than 2 times a number.

The question resembles there is a number.

4 more than 2 times a number is 32.

we have to find that number.

let the number be x.

The expression based on the given question is

$4 + 2x = 32$

It forms a linear equation.

By normal mathematical operation, we can find the number.

the addition of 4 on the left side changed into subtraction on the right side.

$2x = 32 - 4 = 28 \\ 2x = 28$

The digit 2 which is multiplying on the left side changed to dividing on the right side.

$x = \frac{28}{2}$

just by the simple division operation, we can obtain the correct answer.

$x = 14$

Therefore, the number is found to be 14.

Hence 32 is 4 more than 2 times a number.

we can also verify this

$32 = 4 + 2(14) \\ 32 = 4 + 28 \\ 32 = 32$

Hence verified
