Pasha is thinking of a number such that when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number she gets the same result as when she multiplies four times one less than the number. what number is pasha thinking about?

The number is -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be = x

when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number. Mathematically, we can denote this as:

She gets the same result as when she multiplies four times one less than the number.

Now, both the results are same, so we will equate them same.

=>

This gives x = -7

So, the number Pasha was thinking was -7.

We can check this:

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
