Question 1123762
So I was absent at school today so I missed an Algebra lesson. We are learning how we can solve word problems with one/two let statements. Let statements are very familiar to me but they left my mind as the new school year began. Here's my math problem. "The sum of twice a number and 4 is -22. Find the number." I can solve this no problem I just need the let statement(s). Thank you so much for your help if anyone responds! 
<pre>Let the number be n/x/p/q, or ANY VARIABLE of your choice.
Note that the variable can either be UPPER or LOWER case.
