Question 794378: Twelve more than twice a certain number is six fewer than three times the number. What is the number? I have no clue how to do this, please help me! Answer by waynest(281) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = number
2x + 12 = 3x - 6
12 + 6 + 2x - 2x = 3x - 2x - 6 + 6
18 = x

2(18) + 12 = 3(18) - 6
36 + 12 = 54 - 6
48 = 48
number = 48
