Question

write the equation for the following sentence
1. twice the number decrease by 8 given 10
2. double of X is subtracted by y given 4
​

Answer 1

Given:

Two statements are given which are:-

1. twice the number decrease by 8 given 10

2. double of X is subtracted by y given 4

​

To Find:

Equation form of these statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

• 1) Let the variable be w

• Twice of number w will be 2w

• According to the given statement, we will subtract 8 from 2w we get 2w-8

           We have 2w-8=10

• 2) Let the variable be x, y

• Twice of number x will be 2x

• According to given statement, we will subtract y from 2x we get 2x-y

          We have 2x-y=4

Thus, equations will be

1) 2w-8=10

2)2x-y=4
