If the sum of twice a number and -12 is multiplied by 2, the result is 11 greater than the opposite of the number.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " I think the equation should be (-n is the opposite of n)
\n" ); document.write( "2(2n-12) = -n + 11
\n" ); document.write( "4n - 24 = -n + 11
\n" ); document.write( "4n + n = 11 + 24
\n" ); document.write( "5n = 35
\n" ); document.write( "n = 35/5
\n" ); document.write( "n = 7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out
\n" ); document.write( "2(2(7)-12) = -7 + 11
\n" ); document.write( "2(2) = 4 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
