You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 4 is added to twice a number and this sum is multiplied by two, the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by 3 and 4 is added to the product. What is the number?
Let the number be N
If 4 is added to twice the number, the new number becomes 4 + 2N.
When this sum is multiplied by two, the new number now becomes 2(4 + 2N) or 8 + 4N
Since this result, 8 + 4N is the same as if the number is multiplied by 3 and 4 is added to the product, then we can say that:
