Question

The sum of 2 times a number and 10 is the same as 6 times the difference of the number and 1. what is the numner ?

​

Answer 1

the number is 4

Explanation:

let the number be x

2x + 10 = 6(x - 1)

2x + 10 = 6x - 6

minus both sides by 2x

10 = 4x - 6

add both sides by 6

4x = 16

x = 4
