the same number?​

Answer 1

Answer: x= -1

Step-by-step explanation: 6x = 2x-4 4x= -4 and x=-1

Answer 2

From the given statement the unknown number is found to be - 1

The given statements can written in algebraic form as follows;

the unknown number = x

the number  is multiplied by 6 = 6x

four less than twice the same number = 2x - 4

then, from the given statement the final equation equation becomes;

6x = 2x - 4

This unknown number can be solved by collecting similar terms together;

6x - 2x = -4

4x = -4

divide through by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-4}{4} \\\\x = -1$

Thus, the unknown number is - 1
