Question

Write and equation and solve it for the following:

Seven more that twice a number is 25. What is the number?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

Work backwards

25 - 7 = 18

18 ÷ 2 = 9

You can solve the problem normally to check.

9 × 2 = 18

18 + 7 = 25

That proves that the answer is right. Hope this helps you! Let me know how you did!

Answer 2

Answer: Equation: 2n+7=25 Number: n=9

Step-by-step explanation: Twice a number is 2 × n= 2n. 7 more is +7. Hence we get 2n+7=25. Subtract 7 from both sides then divide by 2 and we get 9!
