Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve for x by isolating the variable.
First, expand the parentheses:
2(x + 1) = 4
2 * x + 2 * 1 = 4
2x + 2 = 4
Then subtract by 2:
2x + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2
2x = 2
Finally, divide by 2:
2x/2 = 2/2
x = 1
Thus, x = 1.
