18 less than three times a number is twice the number. Define a variable write an equation and solve to find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

N = variable

Equation: 3n - 18 = 2n

Solve:

3n - 18 = 2n

3n = 2n + 18                          Add 18 to both sides

3n - 2n = 18                          Subtract 2n from both sides

n = 18
