Question

Could you please explaine it...





If 2 is subtracted from a number and this difference is tripled, the result is 6 more than the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

(x - 2)*3 = 6 + x

3x - 6 = 6 + x

2x = 12

x = 6

Answer 2

6

Answer 3

Let the number be N,

If 2 is subtracted from a number,

N - 2

And this difference is Tripled,

3 x (N - 2)

The result is 6 more than the number (we add 6 to the number so that we can get an equation),

3 x (N - 2) = N + 6

Find the number. Solving,

3N - 6 = N + 6

3N - N = 6 + 6

2N = 12

N = 6 (ans)

Answer 4

let X be the unknown number

(X - 2)*3 = 6 + X

mulitply in the digit 3 into the bracket equation (X-2)

3X - 6 = 6 + X

Bring all the X to one side.Bring the Digits to another side.

3X-X= 6 + 6

simplify:

2x = 12

To Find X:
X=12 /2
X= 6

Answer 5

okay first start out by writing the equation
3(n-2)=n+6, then use distributive property on the left side
3n-6=n+6, subtract n and add 6 to both sides
2n=12, divide by two
n=6

Answer 6

3(x- 2)=x+6 = 3x-6=x=6
-x +6 -x +6 = 2x=12
/2 /2 = x=6

answer x=6 that is so easy why couldnt u figure it out moron

Answer 7

3(x-2)=x+6
thus 3x -6 = x+6
or 3x= x+12
or 2x = 12
thus x =6
in retrospect 6-2 = 4 -> 4*3 = 12 which is 6 more than 6

Answer 8

3(x-2)=6+x
3x-6=6+x
3x-x=6+6
2x=12
(2x=12)/2
x=6

Answer 9

its 6

3(x-2)-6=x
3x-6-6=x
3x-x=12
2x=12
x=6
