3. If 4 is subtracted from twice a number the result is 10 less than the number
find the number.
4. Three times a number divided by two is the number divided by 4 Find the number.
5. An integer, n, is added to 2, and that sum is then multiplied by 3. That result is 5 less than the original integer. What is the integer?

Respuesta :

3.

2x - 4 = 10

Add 4 to both sides.

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 7

4.

3(x/2) = x/4

Distributive property.

3x/2 = x/4

Convert denominators to a common number.

6x/4 = x/4

Multiply both sides by 4.

6x = x

Subtract x from both sides.

5x = 0

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 0

This equation is equal to 0.

5.

3(n + 2) = n - 5

Distributive property.

3n + 6 = n - 5

Subtract n from both sides.

2n + 6 = -5

Subtract 6 from both sides.

2n = -11

Divide both sides by 2.

n = -5.5
