Let statements are very familiar to me but they left my mind as the new school year began. Here's my math problem. \"The sum of twice a number and 4 is -22. Find the number.\" I can solve this no problem I just need the let statement(s). Thank you so much for your help if anyone responds! \n" ); document.write( "

The sum of twice a number and 4 is -22. Find the number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x equal the number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this assigns the variable named x to represent the number that you want to find the value of.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your equation becomes -22 = 2x + 4, or 2x + 4 = -22\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's your number.\r
