if the product of 4 and a number is diminished by 12 then the result is twice the opposite of the number.
\n" ); document.write( " let m represent the number. what is the number?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "just write the equation for the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"if the product of 4 and a number is diminished by 12, then the result is twice the opposite of the number. \"
\n" ); document.write( "4m - 12 = 2(-m)
\n" ); document.write( "4m - 12 = -2m
\n" ); document.write( "4m + 2m = 12
\n" ); document.write( "6m = 12
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"12%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2 is the number (-2 is it's opposite)
\n" ); document.write( ":
