Four more than the product of a number and 2 is 6

Question

Four more than the product of a number and 2 is 6

Answer 1

I assume you need to create an equation and solve it here. If we let x represent the unknown number, then we can write:

4 + 2x = 6

"four more" means to add 4, "product of a number and 2" means to multiply , and "is" can be represented with am equal sign.

To solve the equation, use inverse operations:

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

4 + 2x - 4 = 6 - 4

then 2x = 2

Divide both sodes of the equation ny 2:

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

The missing number would be one.
