Let's use the variable, x, to represent the unknown number.
We can represent the words, "the sum of a number and six, as : x + 6
The words, " 2 less than the sum", can be represented as: x + 6 - 2
The words, "the product of the number and three", can be written as: 3x
Now create an equation using "is equal to" to join the expressions:
x + 6 -2 = 3x
Now combine like terms and use inverse operations to solve for x:
x + 6 -2 = 3x
x + 4 = 3x
x + 4 - x = 3x - x
4 = 2x
4/2 = 2x/2
2 = x
The unknown number is 2
Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+1)-3x=14 (expand parenthesis i.e PEDMAS rule)
2x + 2 - 3x = 14 (bring all x terms to one side and numbers to the other; subtract 2 from both sides)
2x - 3x = 14 - 2 (evaluate each side)
-x = 12 (multiply both sides by -1)
x = -12
1l=1000ml=>x l=34000 ml=>x=34000/1000=>x=34ll..........
The correct answer is 200l,no 34000
