HELP ME PLEASE I GIVE YOU 31 POINTS

1. twice the difference of a number and three is the sum of that number and four

2. three times a number is two times the difference of that number and one

Answer 1

36? I believe im right

Explanation:

Twice the difference of a number and four: 2(x - 4)

three times the sum of the number and 2: 3(x + 2)

2(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)

2x - 8 = 3x + 6

-14 = x

to confirm

2[(-14) -4] = 2(-18) =-36

3 [(-14) +2] = 3 (-12) = -36
