Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x.

Twice the number means = 2x

Twice the number increase by 8 means =2x+8

Twice the number increase by 8 is 20 then means

2x+8=20

Therefore the solution to this equation will be as follows:

2x=20–8

2x=12

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x,that is 2 in this case:

2x/2=12/2

This becomes:

x=6

Hope this helps.

Take care!

Answer 2

Answer:

3.333

Step-by-step explanation:

As,

$2x$ x $3 = 20$

$x$ x $3 = \frac{20}{2}$

$x$ x $3 = 10$

$x = \frac{10}{3}\\x = 3.333$
