Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the number , then

3n + 4 = n - 2 ( subtract n from both sides )

2n + 4 = - 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2n = - 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = - 3

The number is - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Zena needs a salesperson. Salesperson A is offering his services for an initial $50 in addition to $5 per hour. salesperson B is offering her services for an initial $40 in addition to $7 per hour. When will the two coaches charge the same amount of money?

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total charge

we know that

Salesperson A

------> equation A

Salesperson B

------> equation B

To find out when the two coaches charge the same amount of money, equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

7x+40=5x+50

7x-5x=50-40

2x=10
