Question

11 times a number increased by 2 is the same as 6 more than 9 times the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

11x+2 = 9x+6. Subtract 2 from both sides. 11x = 9x+6. subtract 9x from both sides. 2x = 4, divide both sides by 2. x = 2. Substitute the x with 2 and check to see it it works. The numbers should equal each other.
