Question

For items 14 and 15 . let x be a number . double the number. subtract 6 from the result and divide the snswer by 2 , the quotient will be 20

Answer 1

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

double the number = 2x

subtract 6 from the result = 2x - 6

divide the result by 2 = (2x - 6) ÷2

quotient will be 20

Therefore,

$\frac{(2x - 6)}{2} = 20 \\ \\ 2x - 6 = 20 \times 2 \\ \\ 2x - 6 = 40 \\ \\ 2x = 40 + 6 \\ \\ 2x = 46 \\ x = 46 \div 2 \\ x = 23$
