The question says:
4(x) +3 = 2(x) + 9 
so now you need to find x
first you should add -2(x) on both sides of the equation and then add -3 on both sides:
4(x) - 2(x) = 9 - 3 
2(x) = 6
now you can divide both sides by 2:
x = 6/2 
x = 3 :)))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Four times a number (we are gonna make that be "x") increased by 3 would be 4x+3 it says it is the same as (means it is equal to) twice the number (2x) increased by 9 (+9) so the full equation would be 4x+3=2x+9
You have to solve for the number (x).
4x+3=2x+9
-2x -2x (Have to get the x's to one side)
2x+3=9
-3 -3 (you have to get the numbers on one side too)
2x=6
/2 /2 (to get x alone)
X=3 (the number is 3)

Find a number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite ?

Solution :

Let the number be 'x'.

It's opposite is '-x'.

A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite

i.e. x - 12 = 3(-x)

Solving the equation,

x-12=-3x

x+3x=12

4x=12

x=\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Therefore, the number is 3.
