Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

When 6 is added to a number, the result is two times the number increased by one.

Find:

Find the number.

Calculations:

Let us assume x as the number.

According to case 1 (6 is added to the number) - (x + 6).

According to case 2 (The result is multiplied with number increased by one) - (2x + 1).

Using the above information, we get:

=> x + 6 = 2x + 1

=> x - 2x = 1 - 6

=> -x = -5

Now, dividing both the sides with -1, we get our required answer.

=> x = 5

Therefore, the number is 5
