Freddy thinks of a number. After multiplying the number by 2, he. Subtracts 11 and the result is 3 times the original number. What number is Freddy thinking of?

The number = x

 

Multiply it by 2       2x

Subtract 11            2x-11

This equals   3x

 

2x-11 = 3x     SUbtract 2x from both sides

-11 = x

x = -11
