Question

Two times a number is four times that number minus a negative eighteen

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x=4x−(−18)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x=4x+18

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

2x−4x=4x+18−4x

−2x=18

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x/−2

= 18 /−2 x

=−9

Answer 2

-9

Explanation:

the number is x

2x = 4x - - 18

2x = 4x + 18

-2x = 18

x = -9
