The number is -13.
In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.
Twice the difference of a number and 2.
2(x - 2)
Three times the sum of the number and 3
3(x + 3)
Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.
2(x - 2) = 3(x + 3) ----> Distribute
2x - 4 = 3x + 9 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides
-4 = x + 9 -----> Subtract 9 from both sides
-13 = x
Subtract 15 from both sides
You want to focus on isolating the variable (x)
Answer:

The maximum width must be 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
L ----> the length of the rectangular pool
W ---> The width of the rectangular pool
we know that

so
----> inequality A
we have

substitute the value of L in the inequality A

simplify



The maximum width must be 
1 ║ 1 2 -3 2
1 3 0

1 3 0 
⇒ The Remainder is 2
