A number when added to its double gives 72. Find the number

Step by step explanation-

Let the required number be x.Then, = x + (x/2) = 72 = (2x + x)/ 2 = 72 = 3x/2 = 72

Multiplying both side by (2) = (3x/2) × (2) = 72 × 2 = 3x =144

Again, multiplying both side by (1/3) = 3x × (1/3) = 144 × (1/3) = x = 48

∴ The required number is 48
