Question

Twice the sum of a number and eleven is twenty two less than three times the number . Find the number

Answer 1

So for this we need to convert the word problem into an equation, and it'll look like this: $2(n+11)=3n-22$ (n=number). And from there, we can solve.

Multiply 2 and (n+11) and your equation should look like $2n+22=3n-22$

Add 22 on each side, and your equation should look like $2n+44=3n$

Subtract 2n on each side, and your answer should should be $44=n$
