<h3>20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number. Then the number is 13</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given statement is:</u></em>
20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number
We can translate the sentence into algebraic expression
Let "a" be the unknown number
Then,
20 subtracted from three times "a" is 6 more than "a"
Which means,
3a - 20 = 6 + a
3a - a = 6 + 20
2a = 26
Divide both sides by 2
a = 13
Thus the number is 13

I can't seem to solve these but hope this information helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove any grouping symbol such as brackets and parentheses by multiplying factors.
Use the exponent rule to remove grouping if the terms are containing exponents.
Combine the like terms by addition or subtraction.
Combine the constants.
Answer:
The whole number 2 is the number of whole apples each person gets. The numerator 1 is the number of pieces of the remaining apple each person gets; the denominator 3 is the number of pieces the remaining apple is cut into.
When solving this equation you get x = -3.
To solve this, simply follow the order of operations for solving.
----> start by dividing both sides by 5
-----> Now you can transform the front side of the equation to use negative exponents.
Since both x and -3 are the powers of x, we can eliminate the 7 and just make the exponents equal.
-3 = x
