Write the following as an equation. Then solve. Twice the sum of a number and 2 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 3. Find the number.

expression = 2 (x+2) = 3 (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no be x

therfore,

(Twice the sum of a number and 2) = 2 multiplied (sum of) x+2

=2 (x+2)

(three times the difference of the number and 3) 3 multiplied (difference of) x-3

=3 (x-3)

hence, 2 (x+2) = 3 (x-3)

solve

2 (x+2) = 3 (x-3)

=2 x+4 = 3 x-9

=2x-3x=-9-4

= 1 x = 13 (we have cancelled the negative symbol)

x = 13

therfore, 30=30
