Question

twice of a number is 2 more than 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

there is 4.............

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes… indeed this is a primary school mathematics. This person wish to complete his school homework, so he has thought, it will be better to post the question on Quora, where there are writers, writing without any fees.

Any way, I thought to help this gentleman in his problem. The problem is:

If 4 less than 3 times a certain number is 2 more than the number

Let the number be x

First, three times of number is 3x

Then 4 less will be (3x - 4)

Two more than number is (x + 2)

Hence the algebraic equation will be

3x - 4 = x + 2

Now solving this equation

3x - 4 = x + 2

3x - x = 2 + 4

2x = 6

x = 6 / 2

x = 3

Thus the number is 3

Answer the number is 3

Let us check the correctness of answer by putting the value of x in the equation

3x - 4 = x + 2

3 × 3 - 4 = 3 + 2

9 - 4 = 5

5 = 5

Means answer is correct.
