Let's assume Juwan's number is represented by the variable "x".
The given information can be represented in the following equation:
2(x + 12) = 3x - 4
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 24 = 3x - 4
Now, let's isolate the "x" variable by subtracting 2x from both sides:
24 = x - 4
Adding 4 to both sides:
28 = x
Therefore, Juwan is thinking of the number 28.
Juwan is thinking of a number. Twice the sum of Juwan’s number and 12 is equal to four less than three times Juwan’s number. What number is Juwan thinking of?
