Question

What is 8 more than twice the sum of a number and 3 is the same as -6?

Answer 1

This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4

So the number you are looking for is 4

I hope this helps!
