Question

If I was asked to think of a number and multiply it by 2, I could

write this algebraically as 2x.
Write the following algebraically, using x as your unknown.
"I think of a number, take away 1 and multiply the result by 3."
Please answer

Answer 1

you didn't say what number you would think of

Answer 2

I'm guessing this is multiple choice but the formatting of the question is a bit hard to understand.

write it algebraically as 2x

2x just means multiply x by 2

The algebraic equation for the other example is 3(x-1) which is 3x - 3

This is not multiplying by two, so it is wrong.
