Let x be the number.

2x - 3(x + 4) = 6
2x - 3x - 12 = 6
-x = 18
x = -18

The number = -18

3 [ x + 4 ] = 2x - 6
3x + 12 = 2x - 6
x = - 18______is the number

The number is n.

The sum of a number and four is tripled, i.e.: (n + 4) * 3

…the result is six less than twice the number, i.e.: 2n - 6


(n + 4) * 3 = 2n - 6

3n + 12 = 2n - 6

3n - 2n = - 6 - 12

n = - 18
