Question

Eight is six more than twice a number

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

First, write out your equation.

8 = 6 + 2x (x is the number we don't know yet, or the variable.)

Next, subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the variable (get it alone on one side.)

8 = 6 +2x

-6 -6

2 = 2x

Finally, divide by the coefficient (The number next to our variable).

2 = 2x

/2 /2

1 = x

The answer is 1.
