Answer 2

Answer:

• Question - Two fewer than a double number is the same as the number decreased by 38 .Find the number ✓

Answer -

____________

Let then number be X

A/Q, Two fewer than a double number

I,e 2x-2

and Then number decreased by 38 .I,e x-38

So

$our \: required \: equation \: is \: \\ \\ = > 2x - 2 = x - 38$

• Let us solve the equation then we will get the number which we have assumed be X✓

$2x - x = - 38 + 2 \\ \\ = > x = - 36$

• So by solving the equation we find the value of X is -36 ✓

So the number is -36 ✓

Let us now verify it

2x-2 is LHS and x-38 is RHS

So LHS

$= > 2x - 2 \\ \\ = > 2 \times - 36 - 2 \\ \\ = > - 72 - 2 \\ \\ = > - 74$

And RHS

$= > x - 38 \\ \\ = > - 36 - 38 \\ \\ = > - 74$

LHS= RHS✓✓✓
