Let the number be x
And the result we get is y
So
x-2=y.... 1
x+6=3y.....2
Subtracting 1 from 2
8=2y
y=4
Putting the value in 1 equation
x=4+2
x=6

let's consider x= number
and y= result
So equations formed would be x-2=y------(1)
and x+6=3y--------------(2)
Solving equations___
x=y+2
(y+2)+6=3y
y+8=3y
2y=8
y=4
x=4+2
x=6
ANSWER--number is 6 and solution is 4
