Answer 1

Rafiq threw a baseball 84 miles per hour. That is 22 miles per hour less than twice the speed that Jonah threw it. How fast did Jonah throw the baseball?

$22 - 2x = 84 \\ 2x = 62 \\ x = \frac{62}{2} \\ x = 31 \: ans$

Answer 2

$22 - 2x = 84$

$2x = 84 - 22$

$2x = 62$

$x = \frac{62}{2}$

$x = 31$
