If n appears twice, it means n+n or       2    ⋅    n  When seven (in this case) is less than a number, it means that number has been reduced by the specified amount (seven)7 is being subtracted from 2n      2    n    -    7    =    19

Let&#039;s first examine the phrase &quot;twice a number&quot; in the sentence.Let&#039;s give this number a variable so that it can represent any number. Let        n    =   a number And we also see at the end &quot;twice a number equals 19&quot;So we get #2n=19# Then we see that &quot;Seven less than&quot; #2n# all equals #19#So we get       2    n    -    7    =    19  Now if you would want to solve this equation you first add 7 to both sides and we get       2    n    =    26  Then we divide both side by 2So n = 13
