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.
