Question

Two times a number plus four is 22. What is the number? 2 6 9 11

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is 9

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x+4−4=22−4

2x=18

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{18}{2}$

x=9

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

22-4 = 18 ("plus four")

18/2 = 9 ("two times a number")
