Answer :
The required number is 2 and
a. The equation is 2x + 6 = 10
b. The variable is x = 2
What are linear equation?
A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variables in a linear equation is raised to power greater than 1 or used as denominator of a fraction.
Let x be the number.
Now according to the given statement,
Six more than twice a number is 2x + 6
and it is 10.
So we can write
2x + 6 = 10
Substracting by 6 to the both side we get,
2x = 4
Dividing the equation by 2 we get
x = 2
Hence,The required number is 2 and
a. The equation is 2x + 6 = 10
b. The variable is x = 2
