Explanation:

let the number be x

and according to question,

six + 2 times a number = 2x + 6

26 + 6 times a number = 6x + 26

2x + 6 = 6x + 26

-6x + 2x = 26 - 6

-4x = 20

x = 20/4 = 5

x = 5

therefore, the number is 5.

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
