The sum of twice a number and six is 14 less than triple a number. Find the
number

Hey there!

Let's write an equation first. We will use x to represent our number.

2x+6=3x-14

We move all variables to one side.

-x+6=-14

We put all constants on the other side.

-x=-20

x=20

The number is 20.

I hope this helps!
