Answer 1

q minus 22 = 24: Add 22 to both sides. The answer is 46.

Explanation:

Let x be an unknown number. Given Twenty-two less than a number is twenty-four, then

x - twenty-two = twenty-four

x -22 = 24

This is the appropriate equation to solve this problem. We can solve it to find the value of x.

x -22 = 24

x = 24 + 22

x = 46

The unknown number is 46.
