Way off.


A number: *[tex \LARGE x]


The difference between a number and three:  *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 3]


Six times the difference ... :  *[tex \LARGE 6(x\ -\ 3)]


the result is:  *[tex \LARGE =]


Four times the number:  *[tex \LARGE 4x]


The difference between four times the number and 2:  *[tex \LARGE 4x\ -\ 2]


Put the pieces together:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 6(x\ -\ 3)\ =\ 4x\ -\ 2]


Now solve for *[tex \LARGE x]
