Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

If 6 is added to 3 times the number i.e. 6 + 3x

The result is 2 less than four times the number

According to the question:

4x - (6 + 3x)  = 2

4x - 6 - 3x= 2

x = 6 + 2

x = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 8

Explanation

let the number = x

according to the question:

6 + 3x = 4x -2

( 6 + 3x) - 4x = -2

6 + 3x - 4x = -2

3x - 4x = -2 - 6

-x = -8

x = 8
