Answer: 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: use variables to replace the two numbers

the second number = x

six more than twice the second number = 2x + 6

Their sum is 120: 3x + 6 = 120

Step 2: solve the equation

3x = 114

x = 114/3 = 38

Step 3: check your answer (optional)

six more than twice 38 = 82

38 + 82 = 120

hope this helps

Elodia [21]

Answer:

n=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(n+5)=-2

distribute

2(n+5)

2xn 2x5

2n+10

2n+10=-2

subtract 10 from both sides

-2-10=-12

2n=-12

divide each side by 2

2n/2=n

-12/2=-6

n=-6
