Question

If 9 more than 2 times a number is 13 what is the number?

Answer 1

The algebraic expression for this would be 9 + 2x = 13

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

2x + 9 = 13

Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.

2x + 9 - 9 = 13 - 9

2x = 4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

Or, you can use a diffrent way (which I simply prefer).

Step 1: Subtract 9 from 13.

13 - 9 = 4

Step 2: Divide the number 4 by 2

4 ÷ 2 = 2

x = 2

Either way will get you the answer, hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:The number is 2.

Explanation:

9+2x=13

-9 -9

2x=4

/2 /2

x=2
