Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
we can answer this question by creating an equation and solving for a variable x.
the sum of twice a number = 2x
four more than the number = 4+x
both of these equal 28, so...
2x+(4+x)=28 set up the equation
3x+4=28 add the terms containing x
3x=24 subtract 4 from 28 to isolate x
x=8 divide 3 from 24 to isolate x
hope this helps!
