Question 1040809: If 3 is added to twice a number and the sum is multiplied by 2 the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by 0 and 2 is added to the product what is the number' Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let n = the number
:
Write an equation for what the statement says
If 3 is added to twice a number and the sum is multiplied by 2 the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by 0 and 2 is added to the product
2(2n + 3) = 0n + 2
4n + 6 = 2
4n = 2 - 6
4n = -4
n = -1
:
See if that is true
2(2(-1) + 3) = 0(-1) + 2
2(-2+3) = 0 + 2
2(1) = 2
