Answer 1

Given that,

The product of a number and 6 equals twice the result of the sum of the number and 6.

Let the number be x,

product of a number and 6 is 6x.

sum of the number and 6 is x+6.

we get,

`6x=2(x+6)`

a) The equation could be used to find the number is,

`6x=2(x+6)`

b) On solving the above equation we get,

`6x=2x+12`
`6x-2x=12`
`4x=12`
`x=3`

The number is 3.

Answer is: 3
