Question

Four times the sum of a number and six is the same as the difference of ten and three times the number.find the number

Answer 1

Let the 'number' be = x
Four times the sum of a number and six = 4 * (x + 6)
Difference of 10 and 3 times the number = 3*x - 10
Can you solve the equation now?

Answer 2

Yes thank you

Answer 3

Is it -54?

Answer 4

How did you get that?

Answer 5

4(x+6)=3(x-10)
4x+24=3x-30
Then I subtracted 3x from both sides and got x (4x-3x) then subtracted 24 from both sides so -30-24 so I got x =-54

Answer 6

Look at your equations and my equations.
\[HINT: ~~3x- 10 ~\neq ~3(x-10)\]
