Question

Twice the difference between a number and 4 is twenty. Whats the number?

Answer 1

2x-4 = 20

Answer 2

so 8 ... thanks (:

Answer 3

Not quite...

2(x - 4) = 20

Twice the difference so it would be the difference first then twice that!

Answer 4

If it were 8...twice the difference between 8 and 4 i 4 * 2 = 8 not 20....

Answer 5

2(x - 4) = 20
2x - 8 = 20
2x = 28
x = 14

Recheck....the difference 14 - 4 = 10

Twice that = 20

Answer 6

No answer is not 8 and even I made the mistake it is 2(x-4) = 20 as @johnweldon1993 said Sorry for the fumble
