Question

If the product of 4 and a number is decreased by 12 the result is twice the opposite of the number. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

2 (twice the opposite i hope that's what you meant)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula 4x - 12 = -2x

Subtract 4x to both sides

-12 = -6x

Divide X by -6

2 = x

Flip

X = 2
