Question

Julio says if you subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by - 2 the result is gonna be negative 12 what was Julio Number

Answer 1

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking an algebraic approach

let the number be n, then (n - 17) is 17 subtracted from number and

- 2(n - 17) = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

n - 17 = 6 ( add 17 to both sides )

n = 23

Thus Julio's number was 23
