Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will write a mathematical equation for the phrase given.

-> Let n be "a number"

             four subtracted from twice a number is two

             four subtracted from twice a number = 2

             (twice a number) - 4 = 2

             2n - 4 = 2

      Now, we will solve this equation by isolating the variable.

             2n - 4 = 2

             2n = 6

             n = 3

Write an equation to represent 'twice a number (x) is fifty"​
V125BC [204]

Hi there,

Your question is "twice a number (x) is fifty"

Recall how a number is represented by x.

Twice a number would be represented as 2x.

Therefore, to represent that twice a number is equal to 50, that would result in the expression: 2x=50

If you're looking to solve this equation, it's often best to think about the "reverse" of the current equation.

Notice how 2 is multiplying the x.

To isolate x, divide that side by 2.

However, recall that whatever is done to one side of an equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. Therefore, you will need to divide both sides by 2.

2x=50

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{50}{2}

x=25

Equation: 2x=50

Solving for x: 25

Hope that helps!

In quadrilateral ABCD, AD is congruent to BC, and AD is parallel to BC. Andre has written a
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

AD is Congruent to BC and it's given, (given just means that it was already said or stated, and you don't need to do the work to find it) Angle DAC would be congruent to angle BAC (if that doesn't work, rearrange them to look like angle CAB). AC would be congruent to DB. Triangle ADC would be congruent to triangle BCD by (since i don't know exactly which way the letters are arranged is would either be SAS or SSA) and that's because you know two of the sides are congruent to each other and one angle.

I tried hard to sketch out what the shape looked like based on the information given, and that's because I need a visual of what the shape looks like. Sorry, this took so long to answer.
