Question

I add 12 to a number and then double their sum. The result is one and a half times what I get when I double the original number and add 12. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Hi dear!,

let the number be "x"

if you add 12 to the number,it will be =x+12

if you double it,

it will be =2(x+12)

=2x+24

if the result = 1(1/2)(2x+24)

=3/2(2x+24)

Therfore,

2x+24=3/2(2x+24)

solving out to get x,i have;

2x+24=(6x+72)/2

multiply bothsides by 2,

4x+48=6x+72

collect like terms,

6x-4x=72-48

2x=24

divide bothsides by 2

x=12

The number is 12
