A number times four is six less than twice the number find the number

The number is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's translate the statement into an equation.

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, the number is -3/

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
