“Put the sentence below into an equation form”

“Find a number such that seven less than twice the number is 43.”

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]x=(2*43)-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence sets up the parameters of our equation.  First, we know we have a number, which I notate as x.  Next, we know that this number will be seven less than another value.  Lastly, we know that the value we are comparing x to with 7 is 2*43.  This means that we must subtract 7 from 2*43 to get x, hence [tex]x=(2*43)-7[/tex].  If you want to solve for x, you can simplify to get [tex]x=79[/tex].

Answer:

(x2)-7=43. x=25. 25x2=50 50-7=43
