You can put this solution on YOUR website! Question:
The product of 10 and a number is the same as 36 less twice that same number. Finf the number.
Answer:
Plz check yopur question once again, because with the given data you will get a decimal number as answer....)
Solution is ....
Suppose the number is 'x'
The product of 10 and a number is = 10x
Twice that number means 2x
36 less than twice that number= 2x-36.
It is given that....The product of 10 and a number is the same as 36 less twice that same number
So you can write it as,
10x = 2x-36
Subtract 2x from both sides...
==> 10x -2x = 2x-36 -2x
==> 8x = -36
Divide both sides by 8.
==>
==>
Check:
10 times x = 10*(-4.5) = -45
Twice of x = -4.5*2 = -9
now 36 less that twice the number = -9-36 = -45
That is ......10 times x = 36 less that twice the number,x.
