Answer:

Let the number be x.

[tex]3*x+4=12*x-14[/tex]

[tex]3x+4=12x-14[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides:

[tex]3x+4-4=12x-14-4[/tex]

[tex]3x=12x-18[/tex]

Subtract 12x from both sides:

[tex]3x-12x=12x-18-12x[/tex]

[tex]-9x=-18[/tex]

Divide both sides by -9:

[tex]\frac{-9x}{-9} =\frac{-18}{-9}[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

The number is 2.
I believe the number is 2 or -2
