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
Answer:
x=33

<span>Width = 6
Length = 30
We know the perimeter of a rectangle is simply twice the sum of it's length and width. So we have the expression:
72 = 2*(L + W)
And since we also know for this rectangle that it's length is 6 more than 4 times it's width, we have this equation as well:
L = 6 + 4*W
So let's determine what the dimensions are. Since we have a nice equation that expresses length in terms of width, let's substitute that equation into the equation we have for the perimeter and solve. So:
72 = 2*(L + W)
72 = 2*(6 + 4*W + W)
72 = 2*(6 + 5*W)
72 = 12 + 10*W
60 = 10*W
6 = W
So we now know that the width is 6. And since we have an expression telling us the length when given the width, we can easily determine the length. So:
L = 6 + 4*W
L = 6 + 4*6
L = 6 + 24
L = 30
And now we know the length as well.</span>
62%

'of' means multiplication.
Convert 62% to a decimal, divide it by 100(since percentages are parts of 100):
62/100 = 0.62

Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of a negative makes it a positive so |-3| is actually just 3
