Question

Four less than twice a number is fifty

Answer 1

2a - 4 = 50

Explanation:

Less than means that you subtract 4.

Twice a number just means that you multiply a number by 2.

And we know that all of that equals 50.

If you want to solve it..

2a - 4 = 50

+4 +4

-----------------

2a = 54

Divide both sides by 2. 54/2 = 27

a = 27

Answer 2

28

Explanation:

50+4= 54

54/2=28
