Answer:
Your number is -10
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
Twice a number is 2x
Added to 7 means + 7 so 2x + 7
Is means =
2x+7=
At this point I have to assume you mean
"is the same as three subtracted from THE SAME number"
Otherwise, rather than a number, we end up with the
equation of a line....
2x + 7 = x - 3 subtract x from both sides
x + 7 = -3 subtract 7 from both sides
x = -10
Your number is -10
Check: 2x+7 = x-3
2(-10) + 7 = -10-3
-20+7 = -13
-13 = -13
The answer fits the parameters of the problem.
