Question

Two more than 3 times a number is 20. find the number.

Answer 1

n=6

Explanation:

The equation to solve this would be 3n+2=20.

3n+2=20

3n+2-2=20-2

3n=18

3n÷3=18÷3

n=6

Answer 2

The starting equation is 2+3x=20. Two plus 3 x (x stands for a number) equals 20. Next, you subtract two from both sides. You then have 3x=18. Finally, you divide both sides by 3. The final answer is 6.
