When 6 is subtracted from twice the
Sum of a number and 8 the result
is 5. Find the number.​

Sagot :

(2x + 8) - 6 = 5
2x + 8 = 11
2x = 3
x= 2/3
Cricetus

The number will be "[tex]x = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]".

According to the question,

The equation will be:

  • [tex](2x + 8) - 6 = 5[/tex]

By solving the bracket, we get

→ [tex]2x + 8 - 6 = 5[/tex]

→       [tex]2x +2 = 5[/tex]

By subtracting "2" from both sides, we get

→ [tex]2x+2-2= 5-2[/tex]

→             [tex]2x = 3[/tex]

                [tex]x = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Thus the above answer is correct.
