Six More

What is the answer in fifteen is six more than two times a number in algebraic equation?

Okay, to put it as an algebraic equation:

The statement says "fifteen IS"

that is, means that fifteen equals something, right?

so "15 =" is the first part of your equation.

In the statement, "a number" refers to the unknown, which we will call "x" in this case.
"two times a number" means 2x. Then, the statement also reads "6 more than 2x" so it's 2x + 6.

The equation you're looking for is:

15 = 2x + 6.

If you want to solve it, then you have to solve algebraically.

9 = 2x.

x = 4.5
