Lixin is thinking of a number. If she multiplies the number by 2 and adds 14,
the result is the same as if she subtracts 8 from 4 times the number. Find the
number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number.

We have 2x + 14 = 4x - 8.

=> 2x = 22 (arrange like terms)

=> x = 11 (divide 2 on both sides)

Hence the number is 11.
