Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:
__________________________________________
     " 4x <span>− 12 = 2(-x) " ;  in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall                                       solve" .
___________________________________________
Note:  

If the "number" = "x" ;  the "opposite of the number"  =  " -x " ;
</span>___________________________________________
Rewrite as:  " 4x <span>− 12 = -2x " ;
</span>_____________________________________________
     →  Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

                      4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

           to get:    6x  = 12  ;
____________________________________________________
 Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ; 
     to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________________________
                         6x / 6  =  12 / 6 ;

                    to get:    x = 2 .
____________________________________________________
Answer:  The number is:  "2 " .
____________________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:
_____________________________________________________
        →   " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

  Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

        →   " 4(2) − 12 = ?  2(-2) ?? 

        →    8 − 12 = ?  -4 ? ;
 
        →    -4 = ? -4 ??  Yes!

I have corner points of:
WARRIOR [948]
The points you found are the vertices of the feasible region. I agree with the first three points you got. However, the last point should be (25/11, 35/11). This point is at the of the intersection of the two lines 8x-y = 15 and 3x+y = 10

So the four vertex points are:
(1,9)
(1,7)
(3,9)
(25/11, 35/11)

Plug each of those points, one at a time, into the objective function z = 7x+2y. The goal is to find the largest value of z

------------------

Plug in (x,y) = (1,9)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(1)+2(9)
z = 7+18
z = 25
We'll use this value later. 
So let's call it A. Let A = 25

Plug in (x,y) = (1,7)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(1)+2(7)
z = 7+14
z = 21
Call this value B = 21 so we can refer to it later

Plug in (x,y) = (3,9)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(3)+2(9)
z = 21+18
z = 39
Let C = 39 so we can use it later

Finally, plug in (x,y) = (25/11, 35/11)
z = 7x+2y
z = 7(25/11)+2(35/11)
z = 175/11 + 70/11
z = 245/11
z = 22.2727 which is approximate
Let D = 22.2727

------------------

In summary, we found
A = 25
B = 21
C = 39
D = 22.2727

The value C = 39 is the largest of the four results. This value corresponded to (x,y) = (3,9)

Therefore the max value of z is z = 39 and it happens when (x,y) = (3,9)

------------------

Final Answer: 39
