"If a number is subtracted from 4 more than twice itself, the result is 11" translates to 2x%2B4-x=11

Solved by pluggable solver: Linear Equation Solver


2x%2B4-x=11 Start with the given equation.



4%2Bx=11 Combine like terms on the left side.



x=11-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.



x=7 Combine like terms on the right side.

Answer:

So the solution is x=7




So the unknown number is 7.
