Two less than four times a number is the same as the same the number plus 34 find the number |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Explanation: To solve the PROBLEM first define a variable for the REQUIRED number. Let's say, n is our required number. Then according to the GIVEN statement, we have: 4 − 2 = x + 34
Add 2 to both sides: 4 x − 2 + 2 = x + 34 + 2
4 x = x + 36
Subtract x from both sides: 4 x − x = x + 36 − x
3 x = 36
DIVIDE both sides by 3 : 3 x 3 = 36 3
x = 12
That's it! |
