Question

Three less than twice a number is 35 .Find the number

Answer 1

First of all, you need to find the equation.

2n - 3 = 35

Now, add 3 to both sides.

2n - 3 + 3 = 35 + 3

2n = 38 -Divide both sides by 2.

2n / 2 = 38 / 2

n = 19

The answer is 19.

Answer 2

n=19

Explanation:

Three less than twice a number is 35

2n-3 =35

add 3 to each side

2n-3+3 = 35+3

2n = 38

divide by 2

2n/2 = 38/2

n=19
