The question is ambiguous. Most likely the answer is 2x - 4 but it could be x*(2-4) = x*(-2) = -2x
n - 10
It is 4n - 15.
A number decreased by 4 is n-4
Either 2*(n-4) = 2n - 8 or 2n - 4 It depends on whether the "twice" operates on "the number decreased by 4" or "the number".
x/4 - 4 = -2 Therefore, x/4 = -2 + 4 = 2 Therefore, x = 2 x 4 x = 8
n - 10
It is 4n - 15.
A number decreased by 4 is n-4
Either 2*(n-4) = 2n - 8 or 2n - 4 It depends on whether the "twice" operates on "the number decreased by 4" or "the number".
A product is the answer to a multiplication problem. In the problem 2 x 2 = 4, 4 is the product.
x/4 - 4 = -2 Therefore, x/4 = -2 + 4 = 2 Therefore, x = 2 x 4 x = 8
4*(n + 2)
24
When 3 times a number is decreased by 4 the result is 17. what is the number?
(8 - 3) x (4 - 3) = 5 x 1 = 5
product means multiplication. so a 2 digit number multiplied by a 4 digit number. 80 x 6250 = 500,000 80 can be your 2 digit number 6250 can be your 4 digit number
6-4x
