Question

Twice a number is 46 less than 4 times the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

34.5

Step-by-step explanation:

23 x 2 = 46 less than 4 times = 11.5

46 - 11.5 = 34.5

Answer 2

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n then twice the number is 2n and 4 times the number is 4n

Then

2n = 4n - 46 ( subtract 4n from both sides )

- 2n = - 46 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

n = 23

The number is 23
