Trying to figure out my last math problem. Are you able to help?

Question

Six less than a number doubled is equal to 22. Find the number

Answer 1

Hi Randy,

Take "a number", we'll call it "y".

If we double that number we have 2*y, or 2y.

If our number is 6 less than 2y, we have 2y-6.

We know that if 2y-6=22. So now we just solve for y!
