How do i do this this and what the answer

Twice the sum of a number and 4 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. find the number.

A50% increase followed by 33 1/2% decrease

The boiling point of water at an elevation of 0 feet is 212 degrees fahrenheit (°f). for every 1,000 feet of increase in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases by about 2°f. which of the following represents this relationship if b is the boiling point of water at an elevation of e thousand feet? a) e = 2b - 212 b) b = 2e - 212 c) e = -2b + 212 d) b = -2e + 212
