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! :)

1-x-7/3=x+9/4-3x-8/12
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

x = 2 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the equation by 12. This eliminates fractions.

... 12 -12x -28 = 12x +27 -36x -8

Collect terms.

... -16 -12x = -24x +19

Add 24x+16

... 12x = 35

Divide by the coefficient of x

... x = 35/12 = 2 11/12
