Six times a certain number is 12 more than four times the number. Find the number.

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be A

Given 6 times A is 12 + (4 xA)

That's

6 x A = 12 + 4A

6A = 12 + 4A

Subtract 4A from both sides

6A - 4A = 12 - 4A - 4A

2A = 12

Divide both sides by 2

A = 12/2

A = 6

The number is 6
