Question

Find a Numbers with the following property: two times the sum of nine and a number is six greater than five times the same number

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

two times the sum of nine and a number is six greater than five times the same number.

Let,

x be that number

According to given statement;

2(9+x) = 5x + 6

18 + 2x = 5x + 6

18 - 6 = 5x - 2x

12 = 3x

3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3}\\x=4$

Hence,

The number is 4.
