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.
To solve this problem, we should understand how order of operations works. Perhaps the best way to show you this would be solving the problem with all of the work clearly labeled?
=4[2(21-17)+3] Original Problem
=4[2(4)+3] Solved the Parentheses
=4[8+3] Multiplied the 2 and 4
=4[11] Added the 8 and 3
=44 Multiplied the 4 and 11
An easy way to remember this is PEMDAS, which is an acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. Although it will not apply in this scenario (because we have brackets), it will come in handy for many others like this.
Using all of the information above, we can conclude that this expression equals 4.
I think it is hexagon. It says which polygon at the bottom, and hexagons have six sides like the figure above.
