9 added to twice a number is the same as 27 reduced by 4 times the number

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

9 added to twice a number is the same as 27 reduced by 4 times the number

If we add 9 to the number = (9+x)

If 27 reduced by 4 times the number = (4x-27)

ATQ,

(9+x) = (4x-27)

Taking like terms together,

x-4x = -27-9

-3x = -36

x = 12

Hence, the number be 12.
