Always divide by 10 first, for example; if it was 10% of 20 you would divide 20 by 10 to get 2. If it was 20% of 40 you would divide by 10 to get 4 then times by 2 to get 8.
Answer:
16x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say number = x
two times a number = 2x or 2*x
added to -3 = 2x - 3
subtracted from twice the sum of nine times the number and 8
2(9x + 8) - (2x - 3)
Combining like terms
18x + 16 - 2x + 3
16x + 19
M<d = 180 - 35
m<d = 145
answer
m<d = 145
