Twice a number decreased by 9 is greater than 11. what is the number ?

Question

Can anyone help me figure the answer out ?

Answer 1

let x be the number we are talking about.

twice that number is 2x

decrease by 9 gives 2x-9

if 2x-9 is greater than 11, solve 2x-9 > 11 I'll let you solve this part.
