Hi there!

Let's replace "a number" by "x":

- two times x = 2x

- decreased by 3 = -3


Here's what the equation should look like:

2x - 3 = 11


Now that you have written down your equation, all you have to do now is solve it for "x" by isolating it :

2x - 3 = 11

Add 3 on each side of the equation

2x = 14

Divide each side of the equation by 2

x = 7


Your answer is: The number is 7.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Out of 30 questions, Ahmad answer 12 of them incorrectly. What percent of the questions did he answer correctly?
kati45 [8]
First, you would need to determine how many questions he got correct. 
30 - 12 = 18

Next, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. 
\frac{18}{30} = \frac{x}{100}

Now, you would cross multiply. 
30x = 1,800

The last step would be to isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides of the equal sign by 30. 
x = 60

Ahmad got 60% of the questions correct. 

I hope this helps!
