Four times a number, subtracted from sixteen, is twice the number, find the number

Sagot :

let "the number" be represented by the variable "x"

16 - 4x = 2x   [would be our equation]
16 = 6x     [added 4x to both sides]
x = 16/6   [divided 6 from both sides]
x = 8/3     [simplify]

therefore the number should be 8/3
