Question

Seven more than twice a number is 23.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 7, you get 23.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 23

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 7 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 7 = 23

2x + 7 - 7 = 23 - 7

2x = 16

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

i think it is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + 7 = 23
