The number is given by -3.
What is an Equation?
Equation is a mathematical relation between more than one variable, number or mathematical quantities involving mathematical operations using equal sign in between them.
Let the number be x
Five times the number is = 5x
6 more than the number is = x+6
Sum of five times a number and 6 more than the number is = 5x+(x+6) = 5x+x+6 = 6x+6
The difference between -18 and twice the number = -18-2x
According to condition,
6x+6 = -18-2x
6x+2x = -18-6
8x = -24
x = -24/8 = -3
Hence the number is -3.
