twice a number (n) is six less than three times the number . What is the value of n

Answer 1

1. 2n = 3n - 6

Whenever you see the word "is", it symbolizes "equal to" so 2n is equal to 3n - 6 since 6 is less than 3n

Now we just move our variables to one side so we can combine our like terms

1. 2n - 3n = -6
2. -n = -6

Cancel out the negatives and

1. n is equal to 6
