Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the number. Let it be represented by x.

(6+2x)·5 = -3x +4 . . . . . the meaning of the problem statement

30 +10x = -3x +4 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

26 +13x = 0 . . . . . . . . . add 3x-4 to both sides

2 + x = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 13

x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

The number is -2.

If 6 is added to twice a number and this sum is multiplied by 5​, the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by negat
