Question 927540
Since the number is an unknown value, we can substitute a variable in to express it below.

The product of the number and six can be expressed as:
{{{ 6x }}}
The sum of the number and two can be expressed as:
{{{ x + 2 }}}

Since they equal each other, we shall express it as:
{{{ 6x = x + 2 }}}
Through properties of equality, we can deduce that the answer will be:
{{{ 6x = x + 2 }}}
{{{ 6x - x = x - x + 2 }}}
{{{ 5x = 2 }}}
{{{ (5x)/5 = 2/5 }}}
{{{ x = 2/5 }}}

We can also check our answer to verify if this solution are true to both equation.

{{{ 6(2/5) = 12/5 }}}


{{{ 2/5 + 2 = 2/5 + 10/5 }}}
{{{ 2/5 + 10/5 = 12/5 }}}

{{{ 12/5 = 12/5 }}}
