Question

Which equation and solution can be used to solve this problem? Twenty-two less than a number is twenty-four. q + 22 = 24: Subtract 22 from both sides. The answer is 2. 24 + q = 22: Subtract 22 from both sides. The answer is 2. q minus 24 = 22: Add 24 to both sides. The answer is 46. q minus 22 = 24: Add 22 to both sides. The answer is 46.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

''Twenty-two less than a number is twenty-four''

The equation q -22 = 24 because a number [q] less than [22] is [24]

Therefore, the answer is 46.

Answer 2

q-22=24. Hope this helps.

Explanation:

22 less than a number, meaning 22 is subtracted FROM an unknown variable. Going by this you would add 22 on both sides, giving you an answer of 46.
