Eighteen less than three times a number is twice the number. Write and solve

Answer:

The number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation to represent this. Let x represent the unknown number.

3x - 18 = 2x

Move 2x to the left side. Remember, "change the side, change the sign." Add 0 as a placeholder to the right of the equals sign.

3x - 2x - 18 = 0

Simplify like terms.

x - 18 = 0

Move -18 to the right of the equals sign.

x = 18

Now that we know x = 18, we can substitute it into the problem.

"Eighteen less than three times 18 is two times 18."

18 x 3 = 54

54 - 18 = 36

36 is, in fact, two times 18. We can check this by dividing 36 by 2.

36 ÷ 2 = 18
