Solution: Let x represent the amount of money Jeanne needs. Then the following equation can represent this problem: 17 + x = 68 ... Four less than a number is twenty. x - 4 = 20 ... Thirty-two is twice a number increased by eight. 32 = 2a + 8.
Answer:
x -22 = 24
x = 46
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be an unknown number. Given Twenty-two less than a number is twenty-four, then
x - twenty-two = twenty-four
x -22 = 24
This is the appropriate equation to solve this problem. We can solve it to find the value of x.
x -22 = 24
x = 24 + 22
x = 46
The unknown number is 46.
