Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be X
Twice the sum of a number and 5
= 2X+5
Three times the difference of the number and 2
= 3(X - 2)
Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means
2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)
2X +10 = 3X - 6
3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16
X = 16
Check
2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)
2×21 = 3×14
42 = 42
So we need have to understand that if we were to solve this, our answer would be 7 less than 'p' with that information we get p-7.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify then isolate x
4 (-x + 1 ) = -2 (x + 2) Distribute across brackets
-4x + 4 = -2x - 4 Add 2x to both sides
-2x + 4 = -4 Subtract 4 from both sides
-2x = -8 Divide both sides by -2
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x_42)(x+42)...
