A number decreased by two is eleven less than twice the number. find the number and write as an equation and solve.

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must translate this verbal equation into a mathematical equation such that

a number decreased by 2 is eleven decreased by twice the same number such that

x - 2 = 2x - 11..............Subtract x to both sides such that

-2 = x - 11...............Now add 11 to both sides such that

x = 9

I hope this helped!
