Question 127951

If {{{3}}} is added to a number {{{x}}}
we have {{{x+3}}}

 and this sum is {{{doubled}}},

we have  {{{2(x+3)}}}

the result is {{{2}}} more than the number{{{x}}},

we have {{{2(x+3)= x + 2}}}

solve for {{{x}}}:

{{{2(x+3)= x + 2}}}

{{{2x + 6 = x + 2}}}

{{{2x -x  = -6 + 2}}}

{{{x  = -4 }}}


check:

{{{2(-4+3)= -4 + 2}}}

{{{2(-1)= -2}}}

{{{-2 = -2}}}
