Answer 5

Let x = the number

So the product of the 4 and that number is written like this:
4*x or 4x.

The word "is" in this problem is like an equal sign.

So we now you have this:

4x=

Since we defined x as being the number, twice the number is 2*x or 2x.

So we now have this:

4x=2x

Now we add 18 to 2x, since we need to add 18 more than 2x.

So we now have this:

4x=2x+18

Now solve for x
