Hey, there is a challenge question online. So I decided to ask how to do it.

If 2 is subtracted from twice a number, the result is 50. Thennn, What is the number?
Thanks,

26?

I agree with Writeacher.

X is the number, then twice that number is 2x and that less 2 is 2X-2 = 50
X = 26.

To solve this challenge question, you need to set up an equation based on the given information and then solve for the unknown number.

Let's break down the information given in the question:

"If 2 is subtracted from twice a number, the result is 50."

Let's call the unknown number "x" for now. We can translate the given information into an equation:

Twice the number minus 2 equals 50.

This can be written as:

2x - 2 = 50

To find the value of "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by performing inverse operations.

First, let's add 2 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 2 + 2 = 50 + 2

Simplifying this equation will give us:

2x = 52

Next, let's isolate "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

(2x)/2 = 52/2

The equation simplifies to:

x = 26

Therefore, the number you're looking for is 26.

Remember, when faced with these kinds of mathematical problems, you need to carefully read and understand the given information, translate it into an equation, and then solve for the unknown variable using inverse operations.
