Two thirds of a number reduced by 11 is equal to 4 more than the number. Find the number. n = Answer

-45

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x - 11 = x + 4

I created an inequality representing the above statement first. This makes things look less complicated than what the question is asking.

2/3x = x + 15

solve for x. I started by adding 11 to both sides.

-1/3x = 15

multiply both sides by - 3

x = - 45

-45.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x - 11 = x + 4

2/3 x - x = 4 + 11

-1/3x = 15

x = 15 * - 3

x = - 45.
