Question

What is two times the sum of 6 and some number is 30. What would the number be.?

Answer 1

Answer:

The variable "a number" stands for 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the problem as 2 * (6 + x) = 30

Divide 30 into 2. 30/2 = 15

That means that the variable that is added to 6 must make the number 15.

15 - 6 = 9

The variable x is 9 so the equation would be:

2 * (6 + 9) = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is equal to 9

Step-by-step explanation:

$n-the\ number\\\\\text{two times the sum of 6 and the number}\ n:\ 2(6+n)\\\\\text{The equation:}\\\\2(6+n)=30\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{\not2(6+n)}{\not2}=\dfrac{30\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^{15}}{\not2_1}\\\\6+n=15\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\6-6+n=15-6\\\\n=9$
