Answer 2

Hey Pretty Stranger!

Let the number be x, twice the number would be 2x

According to the question :

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 2x - 22 = 48$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 2x = 48 + 22$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 2x = 70$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: x = \dfrac{70}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: x =35$

Verification :

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 2x - 22 = 48$

Put the value of x as 35

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 2(35) - 22 = 48$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 70 -22 = 48$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: 48 = 48$

Hence, verified!
