Question

Twice a number decreased by 22 is 48. What is the number?

Answer 1

Given - Twice a no. decrease by 22 is 48

To find - The no.

Solution -

Let the no. be X

According to the question, equation made is -

2x - 22 = 48

2x = 48 + 22

2x = 70

x = 70/2

X= 35

Verification -

35 ×2 - 22 = 48

70 - 22 = 48

48= 48

LHS = RHS

hence proved

Answer 2

Answer: 35

Let the number be x. Then, we can write an equation with what we are given:

2x - 22 = 48

Adding 22 to both sides, we have 2x = 70, so x = 35.

i hope this helped! :D
