Fill in the question marks

? * 6 - 4 = the same answer when you treble and add 8
? * 5 + 15 = the same answer when you double and add 36

Or reworded here

If we multiply a number by 6 and minus 4 the answer is the same when you treble and add 8

If we multiply a number by 5 and add 15 the answer is the same when you double and add 36

I don't get any of this oml we never learned this... Help. Please

I presume you mean triple (multiply by 3)

I'll use a variable instead of a question mark. So we have:

6x - 4 = 3x + 8

We want to move all terms with the variable to one side of the equation and all constants to the other. So I'll subtract 3x and add 4 to both sides to get:

3x = 12

Now we need to get the coefficient of "x" to 1. Since it's 3 now, dividing it by 3 gets us what we want. So divide both sides by 3 to get:

x = 4
