Answer:

Zoe's number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'n'

a) Multiply 'n' by 3 ⇒ n*3 = 3n

  Add 4 to '3n' ⇒ 3n + 4

Add 5 to 'n' ⇒  n +5

Multiply (n+ 5) by 2 ⇒ (n +5)*2 = 2n + 5*2 = 2n + 10

    3n + 4 = 2n + 10

b) 3n + 4 = 2n + 10

Subtract 4 form both sides

       3n = 2n + 10 - 4

       3n = 2n + 6

Subtract 2n from both sides

    3n - 2n = 6

          [tex]\sf \boxed{\bf n = 6}[/tex]
