The Sum of a number and four is equal to the difference between sixteen and twice the number.
The sum of a number and four in equation form is. X+4
Equal to the difference between sixteen and twice the number in equation form is. 2X-16
so in order to solve this problem you must subtract 4 from 16 and multiply the solution by 2
so your work should look like this
16-4=12
12*2=24
24+4-16=X
So X=12
