Six less than twice a number, x, is 38. what is the value of x

If six less than twice a number, x, is 38, then the value of x will be 21

Let the unknown number be x

Twice the number x is expressed as 2x

six less than twice a number, x will be expressed as 2x - 6

If the result is equal to 36, this will be written as 2x - 6 = 36

Solve the resulting equation

2x - 6 = 36

Add 6 to both sides

2x - 6 + 6 = 36 + 6

2x = 42

x = 42/2

x = 21

Hence if six less than twice a number, x, is 38, then the value of x will be 21.

126.66 m²

step-by-step explanation:

the pertinent area formula is a = πr², where r is the radius.

here, a = π(6.35 m)² = 40.32π, or approximately 126.66 m²
