    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that Twice the difference of a number and 2 is equal to three times the sum of the number and 4. And we have to tell the number.

    Let the number be x

    Its difference from 2 = x-2

    Twice the difference = 2 (x-2)

    Sum of number and 4 = x+4

    Three times of the sum : 3 (x+4)

    Hence 2 (x+2) = 3 (x+4)

    2x+2*2=3x+3*4

    2x+4=3x+12

    Subtracting 12 and 2x from both sides.

    4-12=3x-2x

    -8=x

    Hence the number is - 8
