Translate this sentence to an equation. The product of six and the number is the same as 64 list twice that same number. Find the number.

Question

Writing equations usingX as your variable. Do not simplify.

Answer 1

6x = 64+ 2x

4x = 64

x = 64/4 = 16

the number is 16

UNLESS maybe you meant

6x = 2x -64

4x = -64

x = -16

16 either way, but different sign

my guess is you want -16
