Caleb decreases a number by 6 and then multiplies it by 2. He gets the same answer as
when he subtracts 8 from the original number. What is the number?
please answer!!
Step-by-step explanation: If Caleb starts with 4 and subtracts 6, he'll get -2. -2 times 2, equals -4. If he starts with 4 and subtracts 8, he'll again end up with -4, meaning the original number is 4!
