Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Convert words into an expression</u>

20 subtracted from the product of 2 and a number is 14.

(2 * x) - 20 = 14

c

<u>Step 2:  Add 20 to both sides</u>

2x - 20 + 20 = 14 + 20

2x = 34

<u><em>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 2</em></u>

2x / 2 = 34 / 2

<em>x = 17</em>

Why can it help to line up the decimal points before comparing and ordering numbers with decimals?
Colt1911 [192]
Because it helps to see which one is greater, For example: if you line up 0.079 and 0.127 you can easily tell that 0.0127 is greater because it is closer to a hole number. Another example: 0.1 and 0.3, obviously 0.3 is greater. in conclusion, the reason you line up the decimal points is to make it easier to see which numbers are greater, which helps you compare and order easily!
