Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. Write an equation and solve to find the number.

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. This will be:

(3 × x) - 2 = (2 × x) + 6

3x - 2 = 2x + 6

Collect like terms.

3x - 2x = 6 + 2

x = 8.

The number is 8

answer is (b.

the graph line crosses the x axis at both -6 and -2, so the answer would be the second one.
