Question

Twice a number increased by the product of 3 and that number is equal to 20. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Then, 2x + (3*x) = 20

         2x + 3x     = 20

         5x             = 20

         x               = 20/5

         x               = 4

Answer 2

To find : missing number .

Given : Twice a number increased by the product of $3$ and that number is equal to $20$ .

Solution :

• Let , missing number be $x$ .
• As per given data we know ,twice a number increased by the product of $3$ and that number is equal to $20$ .
• Then as per given data we write given condition as , $2x + 3x = 20$

• Solving for value of $x$ by transposition method , we get ,

• $2x + 3x = 20$  

       $5x = 20 \\x = \frac{20}{5} \\x = 4$

Hence , missing number is $4$ .
