Problema Solution

if the sum of a number and -3 is doubled the result is 1/2 times the number

Answer provided by our tutors

(x -3) * 2 = 1/2 x   is the required statement

 

hence solving we get     2x-6 =1/2 x      

                          2x +1/2 x = 6    or   5x/2 = 6   or   x = 12/5  = 2.4
