1.Let's call your number N.
The sum of a number and two is doubled: 2(N+2)
Six less than 3 times the number : 3N-6
The result is : =
Let's put it all together.
2%28N%2B2%29=3N-6
2N%2B4=3N-6
N=10
The answer is d)10.
Check your answer.
The sum of a number and two is doubled: 2(10+2)=24
Six less than 3 times the number : 3(10)-6=24
