17.97 + 25.49 + 3x = 50.33
17.97 + 25.49 + 3x - 17.97 - 25.49 = 50.33 - 17.97 - 25.49
3x = 6.87
3x/3 = 6.87/3
x = 2.29 per pair of socks
Answer:
Your number is -10
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
Twice a number is 2x
Added to 7 means + 7 so 2x + 7
Is means =
2x+7=
At this point I have to assume you mean
"is the same as three subtracted from THE SAME number"
Otherwise, rather than a number, we end up with the
equation of a line....
2x + 7 = x - 3 subtract x from both sides
x + 7 = -3 subtract 7 from both sides
x = -10
Your number is -10
Check: 2x+7 = x-3
2(-10) + 7 = -10-3
-20+7 = -13
-13 = -13
The answer fits the parameters of the problem.
