Question

Find a Numbers with the following property: two times the sum of nine and a number is six greater than five times the same number

Answer 1

The number is 4.

Explanation:

Given that:

two times the sum of nine and a number is six greater than five times the same number.

Let,

x be that number

According to given statement;

2(9+x) = 5x + 6

18 + 2x = 5x + 6

18 - 6 = 5x - 2x

12 = 3x

3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3

`(3x)/(3)=(12)/(3)\\x=4`

Hence,

The number is 4.
