Question

Write the equation:
A number multiplied by 6 decreased by 4 is the same as a number multiplied by 2 increased by 12

Answer 1

Answer:

the number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number

6x -4 = 2x - 12  Subtract 2x from both sides

4x - 4 = -12  Add 4 to both sides

4x = -8  Divide both sides by 4

x = -2
