Question

I have 3 more then twice as many socks then keith she has 19 pairs of socks how many do keith have using algebra to solve this what is one step to take?

Answer 1

Explanation:

we have to get k by itself on one side of the equal sign. To do that we have to get rid of 3. To get rid of 3 we have to do the opposite. The opposite of +3 is -3 so we -3 on both sides. 19 - 3 = 16. So k = 16

k+3=19

-3 -3

k=16

Answer 2

40

Explanation:

19*2 = 38 + 2 = 40
