Solution :
Let the number = x
according to the problem given,
two more than thrice the
number is equal to 4 less
than the number
3x + 2 = x - 4
=> 3x - x = -4 - 2
=> 2x = -6
=> x = ( -6 )/2
=> x = -3
Therefore ,
Required number = x = -3
Verification :
3x - 4 = x - 4
put x = -3 in the equation,
we get
3(-3) + 2 = -3 - 4
=> -9 +2 = -7
=> -7 = -7 [ True ]
