Question

the sum of twice a number and 4 is 60 Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so equation =

= x×x+4= 60

=  x²+4= 60

= x²= 56

= x = √56

= x = 7.48331477355

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

verification =

7.48331477355 x 7.48331477355 +4 = 60

56+4= 60

60=60

if you do not believe me use calculator

to see

7.48331477355x7.48331477355+ 4= 60

Answer 2

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the value of number.

As per question,

it is given that,

Sum of twice a number and 4 is 60

So, let the number be x

So, twice the number will be $=(2\times x) = 2x$

So, as per question,

$2x+4 = 60$

Hence, for solving the above equation we will solve the expression by separating the like terms at one side.

We will get it as,

$=>2x = 60-4\\=.2x = 56\\=>x = \frac{56}{2} \\=>x = 28$

Hence, value of the number will be 28.
