Twelve more than twice a certain number is six fewer then three times the number. What number is it? 6, 12, 16, 18, 24,

You said that 12 more than (2x) is 6 less than (3x).2x + 12 = 3x - 6Subtract 2x from each side :12 = x - 6Add 6 to each side:x = 18 Check:2x = 3612 more than that is 48 .3x = 546 less than that is 48 .48 = 48 .yay

[tex]2x+12=3x-6\\
3x-2x=12+6\\
x=18[/tex]
