Question

What is Eleven less than two times a number is equal to 27

Answer 1

The answer should be in the equation form would be 2x - 11 = 27.

If you want me to solve 2x - 11 = 27 than its below:

2x = 11 + 27
38 = 2x
38/2 = x
19 = x

Answer 2

11 less implies: -11

two times a number (x) implies: 2x

equal to 27 implies: = 27

Set the equation together.

2x - 11 = 27 is your equation.

Solve for x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Add 11 to both sides

2x - 11 (+11) = 27 (+11)

2x = 38

Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides.

2x/2 = 38/2

x = 19

hope this helps
