Equations

Twice a number is 24.

• 2n = 24

• 2/n = 24

• 2 + n = 24

• 2 - n = 24

Eight less than three times a number is equivalent to thirty four.

• 3x - 8 = 34

• 8x - 3 = 34

• 8 - 3x = 34

• 8 - x = 34

Sixteen more than five times a number is fifty six.

• 5x + 56 = 16

• 16x + 5 = 56

• 5x + 16 = 56

• 5x - 16 = 56

A number decreased by 16 is -26.

• n + 16 = -26

• n -16 = -26

• 16 - n = -26

• n + 16 = -26

The product of negative eight and a number is 104.

• -8x = 104

• -8 + x = 104

• -8 - x =104

Twice a number is 346.

• 2x = 346

• x + 2 = 346

• x - 2 = 346

A number increased by negative twenty seven is 110.

• -27x = 110

• x - -27 = 110

• x + -27 = 110

• x - 27 = 110

51 is 4 times the number of books, less 3.

• 51 = 3 - 4x

• 51 - 34x

• 51 = 4x - 3

$12 more than 3 times Jason's wages is $450.

• 12 + 3x = 450

• 12 - 3x = 450

• 36x = 450

5 less than the product of 7 and a number is 75.

• 5(7) - x = 75

• 7x - 5 = 75

• 5 + 7x = 75

• 5 - 7x = 75
