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

The measure of a supplement of an angel is 6 times the measurement of the complement angle.
To get this you substitute 7 for the x.
7/8(7)-1/2
49/8-1/2
49/8-4/8
45/8 is the value.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no x in the equation, so I will assume solving for m
Distribute:
3m + 21 = 6m + 12
Subtract 3m and 12
3m = 9
Divide by 3
m = 3
