If we call the number that we're looking for "x", then we can translate the question like this:
When 15 is subtracted from 7x, the result equals 2x + 10
Or:
7x - 15 = 2x + 10
Then it's a simple matter of simplifying the equation. Group like terms on either side of the equal operator:
7x - 2x = 10 + 15
Then add them together:
5x = 25
And factor five out of both sides:
x = 5
Giving you the answer.
-7754

6x - 14 + 2x = 10 8x - 14 = 10 8x = 24 x = 3 Check it. 18 - 14 + 6 = 10 it checks.

The number is -6.

If the number, x, has 10 subtracted from twice it to make 28, then x must be 19. 2x - 10 = 28 2x = 38 x = 19
2X - 4 = -10 2X = -6 X = -3

If you are looking for what number it is, it can be described by this equation: 2x-12=6. Solving this equation x=9.
6x - 14 + 2x = 10 8x - 14 = 10 8x = 24 x = 3 Check it. 18 - 14 + 6 = 10 it checks.
3-2x=7 so -2x=4 and x=-2

Let the number be x: So: 2x-4 = x-10 => 2x-x = 4-10 => x = -6
