Answer:

6+2x=4

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem allow "the number" to be represented by the variable x. To solve you must first write out the equation algebraically. The phrase "six more than" implies that 6 is being added to something. Also, "twice a number" means that the number is being multiplied by 2. Finally, "is 4" shows that the expression is equal to 4. So, the final equation is, 6+2x=4.

To find x subtract 6 from both sides

  • 2x=-2

Then, divide both sides by 2

  • x=-1

Therefore, the number in the question must be -1.
