Question

Negative one times the sum of twice a number and 3 is equal to 2 times the

difference of -4 times the number and 3. What is the number?

Answer 1

lets just say the number is equal to x.
-1(2x+3)=2*(-4x-3)
Distribute on both sides
-2x-3=-8x-6
Add 3 to both sides
-2x=-8x-6
Add 8x to boths sides
6x=-6
Divide Both Sides by -1
x=-1
The numbers is -1.
