Twice a number decreased by 22 is 48. What is the number?

Given - Twice a no. decrease by 22 is 48

To find - The no.

Solution -

Let the no. be X

According to the question, equation made is -

2x - 22 = 48

2x = 48 + 22

2x = 70

x = 70/2

X= 35

Verification -

35 ×2 - 22 = 48

70 - 22 = 48

48= 48

LHS = RHS

hence proved

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
