Question

If twice the difference of a no: & 3 is added to 4, the result is 22 more than 4 times the no: . Find the no:

Answer 1

2(x-3)+4 = 22

2x-6+4 = 22

2x = 22+2 = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

According to the question ,

4 + 2 ( x - 3 ) = 22 + 4x

4 + 2x - 6 = 22 + 4x

4 - 22 - 6 = - 2x + 4x

- 24 = 2x

∴ x = -24/2

= -12
